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.”

My daughter’s favourite 4Cats experience is going to camp and being so proud of her creations.
My favourite 4Cats experience was when my friends and I came for the bunny mug workshop but none of us even ended up adding bunny ears. I love how creativity is encouraged and we were taught how to score and slip which led to some mugs having silly human eyes and noses, and some having fingerprint handles. Such a fun summer activity and my favourite part is the satisfaction of using a mug I made with my own hands.
My favourite 4cats experience was making the panda planters with my girlfriends. It was such a fun night and we all ended up with something special we all made together. My closest location is the main street Vancouver 4cats. Thanks 4cats team!
My favourite 4Cats experience has been coming to birthday parties at 4Cats: I get to do crafting with friends – two of my best things!
My son is a bit shy but loves art. We recently made the Spring Snacks project at the studio and he is still raving about it. We’re already booked for another class to make mugs! It was a great bonding experience. My closest studio if I win the prize is Toronto Leaside. Thanks!
My favorite experience was the splash class I had with my team. There was a lot of laughter and fun! I really enjoyed doing it and bringing a piece of art we did together to hang in the office and individual one home.
I loved making the snack tray. The instructions were clear, and upbeat. I’m excited to see the finished product.
My daughter LOVES her artist themed classes. She spends quality time with her cousin while learning about an artist and making amazing art! As an adult I also love the one day workshops. My latest creation is a clay snack bowl, can’t wait to go back and glaze it!
We had the most amazing experience making spring froggers with our two older kiddos! They loved forming them into little unique frogs, and the glazing day was a hit too! Choosing the colors for their cute clothes as a group was so much fun. The staff is always so friendly and helpful!! Thank you.
I brought my grade two/three class recently to the Uptown 4 Cats and it was such an incredible field trip! Every student was successful with their project and students who are normally more hesitant, embraced the “no big deal” motto! I will be bringing future classes for sure!
I love that 4cats isn’t just for kids. Adults can have fun too! I love the clay making classes and have made multiple mugs that I use at home.
I joined my son (6) for the dragon clay class (something he’d been bugging me about for months!) and we had so much fun! I liked that the group was fairly small so that the instructor could go around easily enough to offer individual help. We now eagerly await the updates for new classes and workshops :)
I joined a class last week and we made a mug by imprinting flowers. It was so simple but so cool! Katie was our instructor she did such a great job explaining what we needed to do. I loved it so much I signed myself and my mother in law who’s visiting from Ontario up!
We love 4Cats! It’s so fun to go with my 6 year old daughter and her friends. It makes a great playdate where I don’t have to plan everything. We just follow along and have fun!
date night clay workshop! we made 2 projects each!
Found the workshops so fun for a girls night. We needed something different and creative to do and it was perfect for that!
My daughter has been attending weekend classes for almost a year now and is obsessed with 4cars. She learns so much and has lots of fun!
My twins have been going to the Baby Point location for 3 years and they just love it. They get to experience painting, pottery, drawing in a safe, peaceful and respectful environment. One of my girls is already telling me she wants to be an art teacher. We are so happy and lucky to have this location in Baby Point. Thank you to the wonderful staff.
We attended the Halloween craft making. Both my girls really
Enjoyed it and got them in the spirit !

4cats is my happy place! The downtown location in Kingston is my go-to venue for hangouts with friends, catching up with acquaintances, and spending quality time with my partner. 4cats pushes me to be creative and to try something new. The staff are always enthusiastic and willing to help. Thank you, 4cats!!
