We are a summer program providing high quality, meaningful, creative experiences for children, 3-6 years of age, in the areas of Visual Art, Dance, Music, Spanish and Yoga.
Over the past 11 years we have served nearly 1000 Denver area families, many who return year after year. We hope you will join us for 2019 and see why!
We offer several, week long camps that focus on engaging kids in the creative process while making friends and having fun.
