February Vacation Week

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 4 at 12:00pm!

FEBRUARY Vacation Week - Winter Around the World

Dates: February 18-21, 2025 (Tuesday - Friday)

At The Umbrella, we believe that everyone is an artist.  We have designed our February Vacation Week – Winter Around the World program with variety in mind to give students the opportunity to discover, explore, and experiment in the arts.

Our Winter Around the World Vacation Week will have students spending their February vacation week exploring how the season of Winter is experienced differently in other regions of the world and the impact this can have on artists and artistic creations. Students enrolled in the program will rotate through a variety of artistic mediums such as Painting, Drawing, Ceramics, Woodworking, Performing Arts and more! Each of the art disciplines will have an art activity related to our arctic theme. Come have your student stay warm this vacation week while making some frosty fun art!
