SPOTLIGHT ON

MAY CLASSES

Dear Friends,

Welcome to our SPOTLIGHT ON MAY CLASSES!

We are excited to share a sampling of upcoming classes & workshops. Whatever your experience may be, there's a class to meet you at your level and help you expand your imagination!

With spring here and summer on the horizon, we have lots of great programming for kids, too! ☀️ If you're still making Summer Camp plans, take a moment to browse the camps section of our Spring-Summer 2026 digital catalog and register your Happy Camper. In the meantime, read on to find featured classes for kids in dance, visual arts, and aquatic programs.

This is not a full list of classes, so be sure to check out our digital catalog to see our entire array of offerings.
