NEW - please note:
We have found over the last few years that often kids are unable to take a desired class because it conflicts with other
activities.  For  2011 and 2012 classes we will be some offering mixed classes (but not as many as last year).
Students can choose from one of two different programs offered on some of the days.

No previous experience is required. All kids classes include materials.  All class prices include HST.

Note to previous students: All projects for the 2011 - 2012 season are completely NEW!

Courses labeled #2 are a continuation from the first program, previous projects will not be repeated. There are no
prerequisites for these courses.

Space is limited to 12 students per group.  Make up classes can be done in another time slot if space is available.
