  Get your kids involved with the arts and away from their screens this summer with SCAHC’s Children’s Summer Classes!

  The ticket price includes 1 adult and 1 child aged 6 or over. Both the parent and child will be able to create their own Acrylic Pour pieces, which will be left at SCAHC to dry and be ready for pick-up the following week. Children MUST be accompanied by a parent. If you wish to sign up more than 1 child, or only want to accompany your child without participating in the class, you can call SCAHC’s office at (973) 383-0027 or email scahc@scahc.org for additional pricing.
