Create with Kelly

Children's art program mountain resort

Changing to Saturdays from 11:00 – 12:00 p.m.

Join Creative Director and in-house artist, Kelly Frimel, for an artistic and out of the box adventure. After our April closing dates (4/9-4/16), Create with Kelly will return on Saturdays.

Kelly is excited to provide a more in-depth and focused instruction in this weekly program, as well an elevated hands-on art experience for children and their care givers. The new Create with Kelly will be guided by Kelly downstairs in the Studio Art School classroom. To help cover the cost of more focused instruction and supplies, we are asking each student to pay a $1 supply fee per class to participate. We hope students of all ages join us for this new and improved artistic adventure!
