Today's top 3 stories:
(1) Kids love ❤️ camp badges 🧑🎨
Camp badges low down...
How it works? Each day campers are awarded a badge to celebrate what they were really great at on that camp day. 😎 At the end of each day we have a badge ceremony! (If kids are only there half day we do a half day ceremony for them.)
And then... they wear them to camps, classes, any 4Cats trip really! We have had kids show up to parties proudly wearing 15 badges on their shirt!
They pin them to their backpacks, shirts, hats... and some amazing parents even make badge sashes for the kids. 🎽 (10/10 on the adorable scale.) 😲
There are over 36 different badges that can be earned.
Special note to parents: Losing a badge on the way home can be a pretty upsetting experience for kids (and parents.)
In case of emergency 🆘, call us and we can give you another one. 😉
some badge reviews 👇👇👇
“Our boys absolutely adored the whole experience. The staff were super friendly and full of positive energy! Kids loved the small badges the teachers gave out. They "collected" them so preciously and wore all of them proudly every morning. Thank you!”
“My son loved his time at camp, raved about the instructors and told me all about the artists he learned about. He is so proud of his badges too. It’s a truly wonderful camp.”
“My daughter attended camp and absolutely loved the program! She happily attended every day and made some really nice art work. Her favourite part was the daily badges. Thank you for a great experience at 4Cats!”
Summer camps ☀️ are just around the corner and we are READY spaghetti!
After 20 years of camps, we've got this down to a science, or should I say, down to an art. 😂😂😂😂
And we don't like to toot our own horn but... well, beep, beep. Check out what others have to say about us below!

“My daughter attended camp and absolutely loved the program! She happily attended every day and made some really nice art work. Her favourite part was the daily badges. Thank you for a great experience at 4Cats!”
“It was wonderful for my daughter (who struggles with traditional school subjects) to get excited about learning art in an environment that values it. This does not happen in the normal school experience.”
“Our daughter had the best week! We will be back next summer. Thanks :)”
“Great camp with enthusiastic staff. Loved the variety of projects. Really appreciated the option to do daily ones instead of having to commit to a full week. Thank you!”
“I am impressed with the art teachers' skills in working with children using positive approaches and encouraging statements. I am also pleased that my daughter is learning about various artists and techniques. Her participation in summer camp (as well as classes throughout the year) has enhanced her enthusiasm and confidence in creating art!”
“My son is not super “artsy” so I was a wee bit worried about him handling a full day of inside time full of art. Well, I had to peel him away at the end of the day, chatting up his experience like crazy. He LOVED it. He gave the experience 1000 out of ten. Thank you! We will be back again.”

It’s now our tradition, that instead of a physical present in her birthday, I take my niece for an art day at your studio and we get to create together instead. We both love it!
i love the amazing art work that my kids come home with. they are so beautiful and creative, and best is that my kids are so proud of their art work!
My children and I now go to classes together, share a table and chat about life while adding to our “story wall”.
Thank you for Cats for bringing our world so much joy!
We had a magical time making Fairy Houses at our studio in Ottawa with friends! Delicate flowers, mini fairies, detailed doors and flowing imagination accompanied by lots of laughs! The new staff were honest and open, making it fun to work in the space.
I had most fun at the recent mothers day event. It was such a great experience to attend with my children who were both only to eager to show off all their skills they’ve learnt from 4cats.
Every child should experience the joy of creation and 4cats offers so much opportunity for exploring every facet of art.
I love seeing my girl covered in paint, pottery clay, markers or whatever medium is being used because I know she dove right in and had fun. But moreso I love seeing her running out the door with her various projects, huge smile on her face and showing me her newest creation with such pride and excitement.
So many beautiful memories at 4cats! From a girls night out, my kids summer camp, art class to birthday celebrations. We have done it all. My favorite experience would have to be the day art celebrations. VDAY, Mother’s day that we as a family of 4 to spend a few hours together crafting fun projects. Thanks to our local studio. Paul and Tara are so amazing.
Nanaimo 4cats!
My favourite 4Cats experience was doing a clay throwing class with my mom. It was completely out of our wheelhouse but we had the best time. We laughed until we cried, impressed ourselves and created memories that will last forever. ❤️
We are a family of 4Cats lovers. I have done painting classes, the kids have attended many parties, and most recently my youngest did the Bunny classes after school, and she absolutely loved every moment! She spent the rest of the week counting down to the next class. It was such an incredible experience for her. Thank you!
I love 4cats!! My favorite experience is meeting new teachers and learning how to use clay. I love the mermaid mug that I made with scales along the handle, such a great place :)
My daughter Olivia has been taking classes at four cats for the last three sessions. She totally loves the classes and it is quite enriching for her. She has created some wonderful pieces of art that she is very proud of
My daughter had her 5th birthday party with all her bestie at 4cats North Vancouver. They all gain unforgettable memories. It’s their first time with clay, the instructor was very patient and helpful. After, we also joined the mother’s day event, they’re super fun that we could do together. Thank you! I highly recommended 4cats in North Vancouver for everyone!

My favourite 4Cats experience was hosting my daughter’s 4th birthday! It was very memorable and we have the big canvas in our kitchen!
My favourite experience has been the staff for the classes! They have made my tentative child feel empowered and capable. So grateful!
My fave 4Cats experience was when my husband and I made food bowls with the pottery wheel at the Richmond Steveston location as a way to celebrate my birthday! It was a fun memory that I cherish every time I clean and refill the bowls.
My daughter and I love 4Cats’ special events / seasonal workshops – they’re fun and unique activities that we can do together. My daughter also loves 4Cats’ camps (summer, March break, December break).
My favorite experience was discovering glow in the dark clay in one of your kits!!
My son went to a birthday party at 4Cats when he was younger and I thought it was such a unique way to celebrate. Not only did he have a great time, he was introduced to his creative side and, also, came home with a momento. It still hangs on our wall and he comments about how much fun he had making it. 4Cats definitely has my recommendation to young and old alike!!!
My daughter and I recently had a great time at the Nanaimo location making ditto clay dragons!
