Program Descriptions:

Food Explorers

Join Food Explorers for a deliciously fun 2-hour cooking adventure! Kids will whip up their own Chocolate Banana Cream Pies and Pizza Quesadillas. The perfect combo of sweet and savory fun. All recipes are nut-free (but do contain dairy, eggs, and gluten). Come hungry and ready to cook!

Mad Science - Chemistry Lab!
Come step into our lab! Let’s make some creepy worms and learn how a chemical reaction can occur instantaneously! Students will gain the basic understanding of chemistry while creating different polymers including the Mad Science Secret recipe of ooey-gooey Slime! Mixing up acid and base potions, in real flasks, students will see the reactions foam and even change colors! This LAB will blow their minds with hands-on science!

Mini Figure Mania!

During this 2 hour workshop kids will dive into our secret stash of mini figures from movie characters to sea creatures to SpongeBob. Together we will imagine what it is like to live in their tiny world and build our own creative mini figure scenes. Welcome to Mini Figure Mania.

My First Hot Cocoa Stand
Step into the world of cozy hot cocoa and explore being a young entrepreneur! In this class, kids will learn to make delicious hot cocoa and how to run their very own cocoa stand. From designing creative flyers and estimating profits to experimenting with tasty recipes, this class makes learning business skills fun and delicious!

Sneaker Studio
Design it. Paint it. Rock it. Kids will turn plain sneakers into bold, one-of-a-kind works of art. Using high-quality paints, markers, and optional gems (all supplies provided), they’ll bring their own creativity and street-style flair to life as they design and decorate their sneakers. Each participant walks away with a totally unique pair of custom kicks ready to wear and show off.
What to Bring: A pair of new or clean white canvas sneakers (like Converse or Vans).

Hands-On Pottery

Hands-On Pottery brings the studio to you! Guided by a skilled instructor, students will paint glaze designs on a bowl and mug, perfect for holiday gifts. After painting, the pieces are taken to the studio for firing, then delivered back the following week. The finished pottery is food-safe and dishwasher-safe, ready to be used and enjoyed at home!

Crafty Kids Crafts!
Our Crafty Kids session will be filled with interactive and super engaging projects inspired by the holiday season ahead. Using fun techniques, cool crafting and everyday recycling materials, children will create fun masterpieces alongside their friends! Be sure to dress for a mess!

Game On!
Join us for a two-hour indoor sports adventure! Kids will dive into non-stop action with games like Dodgeball, capture the flag, relay challenges, and other favorite camp-style activities.
