Brookfield Craft Center's
2024 Summer Youth Program

Registration will be open March 15th.

Brookfield Craft Center’s Hands-On Summer Youth Program is a great alternative to full-day summer-long education programs.

We offer four one-week sessions with half-day and full-day class options. Ages for classes are broken up into 8-11 and 12-17 (unless otherwise noted in the class description.) Each class will have an experienced artist instructor to teach various craft mediums at a basic skill level.

Classes will run:

June 24- 28 | July 8 – 12 | July 22 – 26 | August 5 – 9

Morning session: 9 – 12pm | Afternoon session: 1 – 4pm

A supervised lunch time between 12-1pm is available for children staying on campus for an additional $40.
