Art Camp Amar: a semi-private art camp for creative people whom wish to work in an inspiring space and environment.

We create art, develop friendships, and build self-esteem in an idyllic environment conducive to observation and creativity. Art Camp Amar was designed and built by Georgia Amar to maximize the aesthetic pleasure of viewing the spectacular sunsets and sunrises over Lake Ontario.

Art Camp Amar offers courses in the visual arts. We teach multimedia art with a brief survey of art history.

Each class is limited to 10 students under the supervision of a professional working artist and a camp counselor.

Food is prepared on the premises. It is always tasty, wholesome, and fresh.

Art Camp Amar is a sleepover camp with day camp sessions for local kids too!!

Art Camp Amar provides focused courses in visual art. Classes are directed by working professional artists and an assistant. Class sizes are limited to give superior attention to students. In our course students will be exposed to:

• History and critique
• Drawing
• Oil and acrylic painting
• Sculpture (mixed medium)
• Relief (mixed medium)
• Printmaking (monotypes & serigraphs)
• Laminated stained glass (new technique)

Each class will have a relevant fun art history lesson. All students will be encouraged and allowed to focus on the medium and subject matter that inspires them.

In addition to the Art Courses, there will be daily activities: swimming, horseshoes, badminton, billiards, games, hiking, special evening activities and field trips.

About Georgia Amar
Georgia Amar has been working in art and art-related matters for 30 years. She purchased the campsite property with money earned as a student furthering her higher education in Canada. She built an A-Frame cabin from her trees, studied the landscape around Lake Ontario and embarked on her career as a working, contemporary artist. Years later she built the structures which are the residences and studio for the camp. Among Georgia's notable accomplishments is the development of a special glass laminated technique characteristic of her beautiful glass works seen in many public places in Canada and the USA. Georgia Amar designed, created and installed the 60 feet of stained glass and the Six Glass Doors at Beth Tikvah Synagogue in Toronto in 1988. Georgia has taught as a certified teacher in Toronto.

"The progress from finger painting and doodling that I have seen the first day when they arrived to the level of performance as seen in these pictures within one week at the camp, was so spectacular that I decided to give an extra week of camp, making it two weeks for the price of one week, because I know and believe that that I can transform them for life in more ways than just art."
