School’s Out Workshops

When school is closed for a day or a week, our workshops offer time outside and endless possibilities for adventure. Workshops are for children ages 3.5 through 10 years old, unless noted otherwise. Children should be prepared to spend most of their day outside, bring lunch, and dress for the weather.
$95/child per day.
Online pre-registration required.
Registration is available by the day.
