Fall Sensory Fun Camp: Air Dry Clay Apple Tree

by

Remember, the messier you are the more fun you are having!

This exciting and immersive six class experience encourages children to view Art as a thing that is fun, accessible, and “for them.” Enjoyment is emphasized over perfection, and every craft is carefully planned to be a unique sensory experience.

Classes meet every other Saturday from 11AM to 1PM, so you can pop out and grab some lunch in peace. Even better, sign up with your favorite mom friend and have lunch with them! All supplies are included in one low price of $150 for SIX two hour celebrations of your child’s self expression and sense of whimsy, or come for just one class for $25.

Just bring your child in paint clothes and let us guide them through their crafting experience.
8/31 Air Dry Clay Apple Tree
9/14 Sprinkle Glitter Slime
9/28 Fall Leaf Bubble Painting
10/12 Monogram Foam Fingerpainting
10/26 Crushed Tissue Paper Mosaic
11/9 Waffle Castle Party

Legal and Logistical Information:
All children 6 and over are welcome.
If your child is disabled and would have a better time with some accommodations – contact us so we can work to provide them with the access they need. We love the diverse world of disability, so don’t be shy.
We use non-toxic supplies in case they get on kids skin – but we do use small items and some supplies should not be ingested, so this class is not appropriate for children who are still prone to eating art supplies.

Crochet and Knit Night

by

Bring your own project or just come and learn! This is a time to relax, enjoy a nice tea or coffee, hang out with others, learn from each other, and make some progress on that project that you’ve been dreaming of finishing (or even starting!). An experienced Crocheter will be on hand to help you if needed, or you can bring your skills and help others.

Karaoke and Koffee

by

Informal Karaoke Family Style in the ArtisTree Cafe Treehouse! You can even grab a craft to do or play a board game with your friends as you soak up the atmosphere and sing your heart out. Perfect pitch is absolutely not required, only a sense of fun and whimsy!

Teas, Flavored Expresso Drinks, Sodas, Italian Sodas, Floats and Shakes are available to enjoy in addition to our fun custom waffle bowls in snack or meal sizes.

Kids 14 and under are prioritized for the first half hour, so they can get their song on and still get home in time for bed.
