Art
  • Outside The Lines Art with Fun 4 All: Join us this summer for a unique and exciting art experience! Our art program will focus on exploring art through different mediums. Watercolor, collage, vision boards, and tissue art are just some of the different ways we will express our creativity through art during this action-packed week. This week’s themes are foil painting and splatter painting, and each student will be asked to make at least one artwork using each theme! Our instructors will also give brief art lessons to teach students about some famous painters and their artwork. When it is time for art break, students will be playing games and having fun with new friends!
  • The “Summer of Self-Love” Program will be run by Mya Kermelewicz from MK Prevention Services. If you’re looking to seek self-love, inner peace, happiness, and confidence this program is for you. Through therapeutic art creation, meaningful discussion, and empowering community-based work students will discover their favorite parts of themselves and learn to stay grounded in times of insecurity, stress, or anxiety. Each student will leave every session with tangible and mental tools to use in their everyday lives that promote healthy and positive lifestyles. *Students do NOT need to be an “artist” to do this - success is based on being honest and authentic through creations - never judging or rating one's projects!*

Fun 4 All
  • Slime Week- It’s slime time as we spend a week with students to create new slime recipes that are only limited to your imagination! Our popular Slime Week teaches students the basics of how to make their own slime, and then shows students some of the most popular and trending slime recipes. Some of the slime is even edible! Our coordinators show students the latest slime tips and tricks and encourage creative thinking and working with friends. Students can customize their own slime by adding colors, scents, and textures. Once the slime is made, students can mold and play with their new creations. Slime Week lets kids get their hands dirty and have fun, but leaves the mess in the classroom and out of the car and home!
