A season of crafting, chess & a little bit of magic
Join us for a fun and engaging semester of creativity, friendship, and learning — where every Sunday is a new adventure in art, games, and showmanship.
Four activities, one hour of fun
Each session blends hands-on making, friendly competition, and confidence-building performance — all in a small-group setting built for connection.
Arts & Crafts
Hands-on projects that turn imagination into something kids can hold onto and bring home.
Board Games & Chess
UNO, Ludo, Chess and more — games that build focus, strategy, and friendly competition one move at a time.
Magic Tricks
Sleight-of-hand and showmanship that turn shy smiles into confident "ta-da!" moments.
Drum Circle
Rhythmic group drumming that builds listening skills, coordination, and the joy of making music together.
Beyond the craft table
Our program is designed to help children build skills that carry far past the classroom.
Communication skills
Self-confidence
Social interaction & peer friendships
