Kids Programs
Big fun for little humans.
They say it takes a village. Let Town Square be part of yours! We work with local instructors to offer youth programs including ongoing art classes, after-school events and creative kids’ camps.
Summer means fun in Green Lake. We offer 3 affordable camps: Broadway Music Camp and Kids in the Kitchen in July, and Art Camp in August. Registration is open now. The MakerSpace also has an Art Lab Friday mornings during the summer.
New this year, we are accepting applications for Youth Artists for the Green Lake Fine Art Show and Youth Vendors for the Market at Town Square.
