Character Creation Program - Spring 2025
Our mentors and students work together to create a one-of-a-kind character and costume based on the child’s imagination and values. Along the way, we spark imagination and build confidence. With the help and guidance from their creative mentors, kids can build a foundation of confidence in creativity.
