Free play is one of the most important thing that many kids lack in the modern age, so we’ll be sure to have time for that each session in addition to them learning and practicing actual skills. This is meant to be a social group, not just a class. I hope the parents will participate, learn, and make lasting friends as well!

Suggested Ages: 7 to 12 (Younger kids can tag along, though under age 5 are FREE since they are not the target age.)

When: 10:30 a.m. – Thursdays during the school year starting on September 4, 2025 Where: 12585 Kain Road, Glen Allen, VA 23059 with the possibilty of field trips Cost: Initial Cost of $10 to hold you spot and then a suggested donation of $5 per child per class (you may pay as we go in cash) Details: In order to keep costs low, this is not a drop-off class and one caregiver is expected to stay to help keep their kid(s) safe. We’ll learn fire safety in this class.
