What's Happening in the GWCL?
Arts & Crafts Class (May/June)
The Greater Windermere Community League (GWCL) will be partnering with the Ridge Community League (RCL) to offer three 6 week arts & crafts classes at the Ridge Community League Hall on Fridays.
Classes will run on May 3, 10, 24, 31 and June 14, 21.
Children 5 & under must attend WITH their parent or guardian. For children under the age of 6, we recommend having a parent to child ratio of 1 to 1. Cost is $72 for 6 classes.
The 5:15pm class is geared towards non school-aged children aged 3-5 (including kindergarteners) who have an interest in arts and crafts and can generally follow directions given by an instructor. However, they must attend WITH their parent or guardian; you must stay with your child the entire class. If you are interested in registering an older sibling as well, this class will offer appropriate skill development for a child up to age 8.
REGISTER NOW FOR 5:15 PM CLASS
The 6:00pm class is geared towards younger school-aged children aged 6-8 who have an interest in arts and crafts and can generally follow directions given by an instructor. If you are interested in registering a younger or older sibling as well, this class will offer appropriate skill development for a child up to age 10. A younger child could complete projects with adult assistance. A sibling aged 3-5 is welcome to register and attend with a parent or guardian.
The 7:00 pm class is geared towards older elementary school-aged children aged 9-12 who have an interest in arts and crafts and can follow directions given by an instructor. If you are interested in registering a younger sibling as well, this class could accommodate a mature 7 or 8 year old who can work independently. We do not recommend this 7:00pm class for children under the age of 7.
*Classes may be combined into 2 classes at 5:30 and 6:30 if we do not receive enough registrations to operate 3 classes.
