Registration open now!
This week-long program offers full or half day sessions for 5 to 8-year-olds and half-day sessions for 4 to 5-year olds. Both groups experience Creative Movement, Music, and Visual Art in the morning while full-day students then enjoy Musical Theatre and Story & Creation in the afternoon. Programs culminate in a day of sharing as we welcome parents into our studios! The expert faculty of Summer Arts encourage children's natural joy in movement and imaginative play, while introducing the youngest to elementary technique and refining the skills and expressive qualities of the more advanced.
