MAKERING PROGRAMS

Every day at Alameda Makering is unique, yet kids can consistently expect innovative activities, creative expression, and fun! Classes, workshops, and camp days are filled with ambitious, age-appropriate, and fun maker projects, which could include crafts, art, gardening, cooking, design, science, music, life skills, sewing, carpentry, or a combination of these. Each project incorporates the safe use of various tools, integrates upcycled materials through a range of creative techniques, and promotes the development of life skills. Projects are demonstrated using best practices, while individual creativity is celebrated. All necessary supplies and materials are included.

AFTER-SCHOOL CLASSES

Sign up now!‍ ‍Join us for an afternoon of makering 1x per week! Our classes start after-school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and run for 2-hours. Makering activities officially begin at 3:30pm, so young makers arriving from different schools won't miss out on the fun. Each class wraps up with a moment to celebrate creativity, perseverance, and new discoveries, helping kids feel proud of what they’ve learned and created.

PARENTS’ NIGHT OUT

Sign up now!‍ ‍Kids get their night. Grown-ups get theirs! Join us on the second Saturday of each month from 5:00pm–8:00pm for a 3-hour makering workshop filled with hands-on learning. Each themed workshop includes an ambitious craft project and a cooking project. We’ll also enjoy a pizza and salad dinner together. When the weather allows, we’ll head outside for fresh air and a trampoline break, too! Every young maker leaves with something they’ve made, something they’ve learned, and something they feel proud of!

SCHOOL BREAK CAMPS

Sign up now! Join us for exciting makering activities and fun during a “break” that coincides with a single-day or week-long school closure. Our day kicks off with a morning maker project, followed by a brief mid-morning break to relax or jump on the trampoline, and then a cooking project. At lunchtime, we venture to one of the nearby parks for a picnic and some physical activity! The afternoon session may continue with the morning project or introduce a new one. We wrap up by reflecting on the day, and celebrating everyone’s creations.
