Winter Session Registration is Open!

In the 10-week Winter Session, WonderKids will continue with the "Here, There, and Everywhere" theme and experience what it is like to be a host and a visitor, both at home, and all over the world, through sharing space, art, and belongings. The session will start with a reading of the book “Shelter,” which is the story of the family of bears that loses their home in a storm. Just like in the story “Shelter,” we will find all sorts of ways to invite our friends, family, and even those in need, to share some of what we have. Look for more information and a schedule of activities on the Rural Arts Collaborative website.

Registration for the Winter Session will run from November 3-14, and will be run through a new registration platform: SchoolsBuddy. This new system should be easier to navigate and more informative for families. Please reach out to Virginia Lapierre (wonderkids.manager@ruralartsvt.org) if you would like to activate a SchoolsBuddy account and register a child for the Winter Session.
