Sir Sandford Fleming School of The Arts in Haliburton is Ontario's most prestigious college of its kind for its programs in the visual, literary, and performing arts. Every summer, thousands of adult students come to Haliburton to take one-week courses in one of the scores of specialized art forms. Many of these students bring their families with them and make a very memorable vacation for the whole family out of their Sir Sandford Fleming experience.

These Haliburton School of The Arts courses are held in very high regard by the Canadian art community, not only because of the exceptional level of instruction, but also because the Haliburton Highlands is such a splendid setting for these unique programs.

Every year, new programs are added to the curriculum. The fall of 2004 saw the completion of the college's magnificent new campus right on the shores of Head Lake overlooking the village of Haliburton. This new facility has made possible the introduction of more year-round programs which have attracted students, all of whom have made a serious committment to their chosen art field.

Kashaga Lodge is only 4 km from the Sir Sandford campus, and is the only cottage resort in Haliburton County that specializes in small, but fully-equipped one-bedroom units ideally suited for HSTA students. During the summer, 5-night packages are offered specifically for HSTA students, as well as HSTA discounts which apply at ALL times.
