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.
Architecture: Grades 2-5, $320
This PlayArchy class invites young students to design a playful landscape through three interconnected projects: an Observatory Tower for seeing, Intersecting Gardens for growing, and a Game Table for playing. Each project opens a new way of thinking through space. An elevated platform with roof-like geometric volumes of cones, pyramids, and cylinders encourages observation through play; intersecting gardens invite children to engage with the earth through gardening and drawing in the sand, exploring patterns, connections, and a sense of care for the environment; and a modular game table fosters social interaction, problem-solving, and collaborative play, showing how shared surfaces can bring people together in meaningful and playful ways. Through this collective landscape of vision, care, and play, students discover that architecture is not just about building structures, but about creating relationships between people, nature, and discovery.
