1. AR Workshop
If you have a crafty child or one with artistic aspirations, don’t miss the summer program at this darling DIY studio. Half-day and full-day programs run from June 20th through August 25th and feature different weekly themes. Every day at AR Workshop is different—from canvas pillows to plank signs to paint & string art, your child is sure to channel their inner Picasso … and have fun doing it!
Why we love AR Workshop: Unlike the countless art projects filling up your drawers and cabinets, the finished projects are wonderfully display-worthy. Whether it’s wall art for a bedroom or a Lazy Susan for mom’s holiday gift made in advance, these are undeniably items you’ll want to keep out—maybe even on a pedestal.

Each week features a different morning and afternoon session, so kids have the option to do one or both in a truly inspiring environment.
Why we love Code Ninjas: We can’t think of a better way for kids to dip a toe into what the future looks like. And to do so in a fun, creative, and safe way. Be sure to stop by their Open House on April 9th from 1-3pm.
