The 5 day program is created to inspire children to use their imaginations. We will offer projects in visual art, music, movement, and creative discussions.
Students work in large and small groups throughout the day. They will learn how to work cooperatively and collaborate.
This program is designed for children ages 5 to 12, so great for siblings in this age range.

OUR THEME IS FUN + WE ARE LEARNING TO BE KIND TOO!
This year, we base our program on the Yamas, a beautiful yoga concept that guides us on how to shine our light. This is non-religious and accessible for all. Below are our themes! The words you see in another language are in Sanskrit (an ancient language).
YAMAS are how we interact with the world around us.
Monday is Ahimsa | Be Kind
Tuesday is Satya | Be TruthfulWednesday is Asteya | Respect Others
Thursday is Brahmacharya | Rest and Restore
Friday is Aparigraha | Give to Others
