De-stress, unwind, and enjoy the almost-magical calm that comes from painting with watercolors.

Each week features a different theme -- we'll have some inspiration and supplies ready for you! But feel free to create something else if you'd like.

Want pointers on painting techniques? We'll do our best to help! But please keep in mind that this is not an art class -- it's a chance to be creative and relax while enjoying each other's company in an encouraging environment.

Book Buddies is a FREE literacy program that brings child and teens together to share the joy of reading. It pairs trained teen volunteers (Big Buddies) with children in K-3rd grades (Little Buddies).

Each Wednesday for 10 weeks, Big Buddies and Little Buddies will meet to read together and create positive experiences surrounding literacy. By the end of the session, we aspire that all Little Buddies will learn to love to read and form positive associations with reading.

Krafty Kids is a whimsical environment where children can express their creativity through a variety of artistic activities, ranging from painting to sculpting. With an extensive selection of supplies and guided sessions, kids have the opportunity to explore their talents and craft unique masterpieces to take home. Join us every Wednesday at 3:45 PM for an inspiring creative adventure!
