SUMMER IS IN SESSION

NO FEE TO REGISTER, PLUS CAE FAMILY MEMBERSHIPS SAVE YOU 10% ON ALL SESSIONS!

CAE is excited to be partnering with EPRD and several new instructors this year to present our awesome lineup of Teen Summer Sessions! These programs are perfect for youth who don’t necessarily need childcare or full-time camps, but who could use some time off the screen and out of the house getting creative with their peers. There are opportunities to create lasting public art on the sports shed and waste receptacles at Buchanan Rec Center, introductions to ceramics, and sessions that have teens creating original art in the open air. Join in for one, or join in for all – make summer more colorful with CAE!
