We understand that long breaks from school can be amazing, but only when you have fun things to fill your time. During school breaks in the winter, spring and summer, we plan workshops, invite guest speakers to present, design group volunteering activities, travel to fun places in the city, work on art projects, or book dancing and cooking lessons. Each season is different, and it’s always exciting! Winter and Spring breaks are usually 4-5 full days of activities, while summer break lasts two (2) full weeks!
