This Holiday Season, help a child in our community create, develop and explore!
You can give the gift of affordable camps and arts programs with your tax-deductible donation to Kaleidoscope Kids.
Kaleidoscope Kids provides affordable, accessible, innovative programs to kids aged 4 to 12 in the East York, Riverdale and Leslieville areas. In 2011, over 100 kids attended one of our programs (up from 60 in 2010). Our programs are offered to families of all backgrounds, by making our fees affordable, and making available subsidies to low-income families, allowing us to mix kids of different background in our programs. Our mix of the arts with health and fitness, combined with the mixed-income backgrounds of our kids makes us truly unique in Toronto. While all of our spots our subsidized to some degree, in order to keep our programs affordable to all, it’s the lower-income families who need our help the most.
You may have read the story of Stephanie on our website, a young girl who came to us in 2010 as the recent victim of abuse, and who was transformed through our Summer Day Camp and by being a member of our Glee Club.

We can help Stephanie this year, and other kids like her. Help us achieve our goal this holiday season of raising $10,000 to provide affordable arts programs and camps to 60 kids this coming year!
