Day Camp: Mess Makers

Non-School Day. Grades K-5. Calling all mess-makers! Do you like things that ooze, goo, and go kaboom? Are you the messiest artist you know? Discover the art of mess and the science behind it. Breakfast and snack will be provided. Bring a nut-free lunch and a water bottle.

Most classes include sliding-fee options designed to provide financial flexibility for community members who may need support in order to participate. We encourage participants to choose the amount they are able to pay. This model helps ensure our programs remain financially sustainable while also promoting equity and increasing accessibility for all members of our community.
