Teens
And behind all the excitement and hype of the School Holiday Program for the younger ones, is the Teens program.

- Pizza and games night
- Hip hop class
- Dungeons and Dragons introduction
- Japanese paper dyeing
- Little Art workshops
- Zine making workshop
- Minecraft madness!
We are here to educate, entertain and excite children throughout the school holidays. There are events running everyday. Come and join us!
Some of the programs you may have to book (and are booking out fast!) so don't wait.
