Hello dear campers, my name is Shawi, short for Shawinigan, a small but very beautiful city. I find this name original, dynamic and funny; three qualities that describe me well. Since 2005, I am a speciliazed educator and I have been working with kids since I was 17. Thus, I work in education during the year. During the summer, I take a break and use the time to fulfill my biggest passion: animation. As I love to say, being laughed at is no big deal. Bring on the laughter, I am not scared! Furthermore, I love inventing games and creating new interesting characters during theme days to make children big and small happy. I hope that you will have loads of fun at camp--just as much as I have from working there!
Boulette is passionated by different types of things. Musique, of course, but also cinema, physical excercise, cooking and video games. He takes part in these activities not to pass time, but to cultivate his soul as much as he can. This means that he never chooses randomnly. Always at the look out for new experiences and informed of progresses made by his favorite activities, Boulette has a big inconquerable appetite for adventure. He hates resting, even though he knows it is often necessary, and time wasting. He strongly believes that there is always something important to do with the time we have. We have so little of it today, why not use it to the best of our capabilities!
"Koala" being her baptised name, she is probably the only animator to sport her real name! This phenomenon has probably also led her to her special carreer as an entertainer. Not knowing what the future held for her, Koala began taking theatre and dance classes at the age of four! She continued to practice these performing arts as passe times in order to concentrate on acting for seven years! Following this, she focused on dance and never stopped! She has also practiced the violin for four years, but a magical accident made her lose her talent as a musician. This was a very sad incident. Since that, Koala dances frequently at the UQAM univeristy, creates dances from time and time and goes to a lot, a lot, a lot of dance shows. Did I mention that she watches a lot of dance shows? Her goal: that a maximum of kids dance like they have never danced before! Her famous quote: "One dancing koala is better than two that are sleeping!"
Music, theatre, cinema, dance, arts and crafts, smiles....... yum, these words have the same effect on me as eating a piece of my favourite cake - total happiness. Since I was young I've had a passion for all the arts and I love more than anything else sharing my knowledge with kids to help inspire them to follow their dreams. This summer, we're going to have lots of fun sharing our interests. I'll be there to help you when you need it because hey, if I'm called Jedi, it's because Jedis are all peacekeepers just like me. Life is much more fun when everybody's getting along :)
Trèfle is ... Trèfle is... Trèfle is, well intelligentabubbly grumpy. She sometimes feeds on the brains of the youth and connects wires from creativity with logic. Most commonly seen giggling under bedsheets, in tents filled with pegs, or around the corner of a door surrounded with crumbles of wax, pencil residue or paint, Trèfle is a creature of her own kind. She teaches art, apparently. It is told that she is quite mature and cunning in her own way. Don't be disturbed by her silly walks or facial expressions, it truly is her cuddle factor!

My name is Mandarine. I love arts! I have attended dance, singing, acting, visual arts classes, and also culinary art classes. As we speak, I am currently a student in design at Concordia University, a field that requires good artistic capabilities. I have worked four consecutive summers at a day camp with 4-5 year olds, therefore I have relevant experience as a monitor with young kids.

Cappella is carried by the melody, no matter what it is. Kept back by nothing, only it’s own echo can stop it. Her versatility in the field of arts allows for many new adventures ! Her degree in theatre gave her the chance to see that everyone in the world has a voice, no matter what it is. It’s implication is as significant in the community as in the professional world, in the francophone as in the anglophone. Getting all rallied up, she is more than excited that the summer is here, to laugh, improvise, to create rhythms each crazier than the next…She impatiently awaits all the overflowing energy, to create universes, and characters which you will remember for a long time…Cappella is ready with a whole lot of harmony !

Stéréo for Stéréo Love! Stéréo adores music, rhythm and rhymes! Her passion: mixing different styles and art forms and creating. Stéréo's brain is a strange place where bizarre ideas, uninterrupted melodies and animated characters live together. Seeing a great big gang of kids singing and sharing one emotion bring a tear to her eye. Born in the middle of summer, she has been making music since she was little. Sunshine in her soul, Stéréo loves Camp!!
