Take Your Saturday Mornings Back with ACC Youth Camps First Saturdays!
Take your Saturday mornings back! Run errands, work on your hobby, go out for a relaxing breakfast and coffee, or just have a little time in the house to yourself. All while your kids are having fun, engaging with projects, and making community friends. We are proud to introduce ACC Youth Camps First Saturdays! Every first Saturday of the month you can count on us to have fun and engaging programs for your children ages 8-14.
Starting in October and housed at ACC’s Littleton Campus, we will have ACC First Saturday Camps in the months leading up to our annual Summer Youth Camps. The 6-month schedule is already out! Classes will be taught by trusted ACC Summer Youth Camp Instructors and each camp is designed around a project so your camper can take something home showing off what they learned at ACC. Camps will be on the first Saturday of the month from 9am - 12pm, and offered at the affordable price of $59. Campers will surely ask to go back every month and with our easy to remember schedule you can always count on ACC’s First Saturdays to provide that opportunity to take back your Saturday mornings.
In October kids can discover the Magic of Photography and the Darkroom! No Camera or experience necessary, exploration and fun are the goals. November features an awesome opportunity for kids to create their own holiday ornament; and in December, the same instructor takes it one level higher and provides kids the opportunity to knit their own headband.
After a January break to let families travel, we come back in February with a Watercolor Painting course, where kids will be creating works of batik art using melted wax and specialty papers. March boasts a knitting course where we are creating bunnies just in time for Easter. In our final installment of our 6-month schedule students can take an Acrylic Painting course where We will be experimenting with brush strokes, paint pens, texture, masking, using stencils, creative compositions and more.
