2021 Summer Youth Program
Registration is now open.
Brookfield Craft Center is offering an exciting opportunity for our communities’ youth. Youth ages 6 to 16 will be able to explore their creativity in our 2021 Hands-On Art Summer Youth Program.
Our Hands-On Summer Youth Program is a great alternative to full-day summer-long programs. Our small groups allow students to receive individual attention from the instructor in a warm, family-like atmosphere. We offer four one-week sessions with half-day and full-day options. Ages for classes are broken up into 6-10 and 11-16 unless otherwise noted in the class description.
Every class will have an experienced artist to help the students learn basic skills in various craft mediums. Space is limited and classes fill quickly. Early sign up is encouraged. Classes will run:
July 5 – 9 | July 19 – 23 | August 2- 6 | August 16 – 20
Morning session: 9–12pm | Afternoon session: 1–4pm
A supervised lunch time session is available for children staying on campus between the morning and afternoon sessions for an additional $40. Lunches are not provided.
