After-School Arts Program (ASAP) at C5 Studios!
C5 Studios’ After-School Arts Program (ASAP) is back for the 2026/27 school year!
This popular and unique program provides children aged 6-12 with engaging arts, crafts, storytelling, movement and nature connection-based activities during after school hours. Lead by C5 Studios Teaching Artist Marijke IJff, these sessions give children opportunities to create, try new things, build skills and express their unique ideas and identities. Sessions typically include structured activities and instruction, with some opportunities to play and freely create too. This program aims to be a phone and screen-free environment for children to best support their creativity and engagement.
Families are invited to enroll their children to attend on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for a 4 week block of the program. Children are very welcome to re-enroll for subsequent blocks, however we generally aim to prioritize new students with each new block.
Through generous sponsorship from Manor Market, a healthy snack will be provided for the children to keep their creativity and inspiration fueled for the afternoon.
