OUR EVERYDAY CAMP AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM...
AFTERSCHOOL 3 to 6
We offer new and exciting cartooning and painting and crafts everyday!
Classes run from 4 till 5:30, with time if needed to do homework, have a snack, play games, supervised animation or free draw!
As you probably know, we have more "stuff" to do around here than a kid could ever want or need. We offer all of these activities as options. We then work with you to put together the right schedule for your child everyday afterschool.
If your child needs homework time, you've got it. If your child needs help with an art related homework assignment... done. Need special hours? Let's chat. Need more computer time? More painting time? More or less anything... we'll do all we can do. We want this place to feel like YOUR PLACE. We want your kids to feel comfortable, and happy. That's one of our most important goals... because when your child is happy and comfortable and having a great time... that's when the learning becomes easy... and as natural as breathing.
Price for everday afterschool Monday through Friday.........$110.00 per week!

ALSO, THERE ARE NO CONTRACTS TO SIGN. NO LONG TERM COMMITMENTS! PAY AS YOU GO! AS FEW OR AS MANY WEEKS AS YOU WANT! NEVER A HASSLE.

When? - From 4pm - 5:30pm weekday afternoons

Where? - at Guy Gilchrist's Cartoonist's Academy
................237 Hopmeadow Street, Simsbury CT. 06089.
