The 2011 edVentures summer program features over 120 intensive, small-group five-day weekday and shorter weekend workshops. edVentures workshops run six weeks from July 4 to August 14. The edVentures program is located in gentle downtown Fredericton, where you’ll find the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD) in the heart of the Historic Garrison District, a National Historic Site. The college and its award-winning instructors offer almost 40 workshops in edVentures, a program coordinated by Fredericton Tourism. In addition to the NBCCD, our partners include the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the University of New Brunswick College of Extended Learning, Kings Landing Historical Settlement, and the Charlotte Street Arts Centre (CSAC), located in the St. Anne’s Point Heritage Preservation Area. Our summer program combines an easygoing and nurturing atmosphere, informal learning environment, top quality workshops, experienced and award-winning instructors and well-appointed and often historic facilities. Unless indicated otherwise, the workshops take place at the NBCCD.

our almost 50 instructors teach at the internationally-renowned New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD), edVentures’ principal partner. Programs are available for learners 6 to 106, with most designed primarily for those 16 years and older. Children and youth workshops are also offered and coordinated to allow parents to participate in edVenture workshops, while their children safely enjoy their own age-appropriate programs. Family workshops are open to anyone 16 or older or open for children or youth if accompanied by a participating adult. This is an opportunity to discover together with your child or grandchild, through an interactive learning experience. Up to two children are able to take these workshops when accompanied by a parent or grandparent who is taking part.

Following a vibrant illustrated talk, participants will then visit a number of downtown buildings and interior spaces, many of which are normally closed to the public. Participants are asked to bring a digital camera or sketchbook as we will decipher the relevance, beauty, and craft of architecture through an up-close examination of its components and 'hidden' features.
