Let young artists celebrate the magic of spring in this joyful mixed media art workshop for elementary students!
Students will explore the bright, fresh colors of the season while experimenting with a variety of materials and techniques. From sculpting with clay and painting vibrant spring scenes to creating textured collages and imaginative crafts, children will discover new ways to express their creativity.
Along the way, students will also learn about and explore artists who were inspired by spring themes in their work, discovering how different artists expressed the beauty of the season through color, texture, and style.
This hands-on workshop encourages artistic freedom, builds confidence, and inspires young creators to see spring through color, texture, and imagination.
Be excited for engaging lessons, tournament rounds, awards and prizes, and more! Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned tournament player, join us. Bring your desire to learn and have fun!
No ice. No skating. Ball hockey is similar to ice hockey, but players wear tennis shoes and play on a hard surface using a ball instead of a puck. It is a super-fun, fast-paced, team-oriented sport that emphasizes strategy, speed, and agility. Your student will have a blast!
No experience required! In fact, almost all the kids that start playing ball hockey with us have never played before. Through exciting games & challenges and friendly scrimmages, players develop confidence, coordination, and teamwork skills. Our experienced coaches will guide them every step of the way, starting with basic hockey fundamentals like stickhandling, passing, shooting, and positioning. We will make sure they learn the game of hockey the right way, in a supportive and fun environment.
Every student goes home with our McVander Hockey t-shirt and wristband.
Young Japanese Scholars: Grades 1-5
Our Japanese Culture and Language Club provide an engaging, hands-on environment where children explore the Japanese language alongside traditional culture, seasonal events, crafts, food experiences, songs, and storytelling. Rather than memorization alone, students learn through real-life context, play-based activities, and interactive communication. At Iroha Sha, we nurture not only language skills but also curiosity, cultural awareness, and confidence. Our goal is to create a warm, supportive and fun space where children feel excited to learn and proud of their progress.

In this creative, hands-on architecture class, students will design a “Twittering Garden”—a bird-friendly habitat that blends nature, architecture, and playful human spaces. Students will design a bird café with feeders, bird towers, baths, and islands where birds can tweet, nest, and thrive. They will also design playful spaces for children, inviting activities like hide-and-seek and drawing in the sand.
