CraftLab Seattle: Crazy for Crafting
(1ST-5TH Grade, Min 8/Max 12)
Get ready for craft-tastic fun! This session will be an action-packed class where kids dive into a new exciting project every week, exploring tons of different materials and techniques. We will try a little bit of everything as we bounce from one creative adventure to the next. From glitter and glue to paint and paper, beads and buttons to fabric and foam—if it's crafty, we're doing it! Projects range from quick and playful creations to more detailed designs that challenge all kids to develop their skills and patience. Our projects will be great for kids who love variety, trying new things, and taking home something awesome every single day. With surprises around every corner and endless materials to explore, kids will discover new favorite crafts and develop skills they never knew they had.
HOFTC: Choose Your Own Adventure
(K-5TH Grade, Max 8)
Would your child like to join friends for an organized active game led by one of our experienced counselors? Would they prefer to play an indoor board game or card game? How about solo time to color or work on homework? Maybe they just need some less-structured free-time on the playground or field (rain or shine!) after school to burn off excess energy and engage in free play. We offer all of those options! Choose Your Own Adventure allows each child to recharge after school in their own way, without screens and with proper supervision.
Kids Carpentry Seattle
(K-5TH Grade, Min 5/Max 8)
Kids' Carpentry is a hands-on toy building experience designed to teach kids practical woodworking skills with an emphasis on the safe use of hand tools. While kids construct fun and exciting projects, they are also empowered to become independent thinkers--building confidence, self-esteem, and a repertoire of practical skills that will last them a lifetime. At the end of the session kids will bring home one or more wooden games or toys that they have built by hand from scratch.
Mad Science: Science Surprise!
(1ST-5TH Grade, Min 10/Max 20)
In this high-energy STEM program, kids dive into science fields like forensics, geology, and entomology—exploring a new theme each week and bringing home a tool or project to keep the fun going. Our class topics: Bugs!, Detective Science, Earthworks, Kitchen Chemistry, Mad Machines, Movie Effects, Science of Toys, and Walloping Weather.
Seattle Chess School: Chess Club
(K-5TH Grade, Min 7/Max 44)
Chess is more than a game — it’s a way to think, create, and connect. Chess club is a place where all students will thrive in a supportive, fun, and engaging environment. In chess club serious competition is always tempered with kindness and good sportsmanship. The program includes weekly matches, game reviews, and touches of chess history and culture. Our coach will meet each student where they are, fostering strategic thinking, creativity, and confidence. For the best experience, we recommend new students know the names of the pieces and how they move — but a love of learning is the only true prerequisite. Class placement will be determined based on the answers to registration questions.
