Curiosity Club

Arts + Science Workshops for Inquisitive Kids

The Curiosity Club designs experiences for elementary aged kids to delve into themed topics.  Each workshop or summer camp is built around a theme which is explored physically, imaginatively, and intellectually.  Every day involves activities to foster individual exploration and group exchanges. 

Active Bodies + Engaged Minds = Happy Kids

About the Curiosity Club

The Curiosity Club launched in 2011.   Take a look at prior Curiosity Club workshops. The main idea is to cultivate curiosity as an essential ingredient for a life-long love of learning. In everything we do, kids are encouraged to take initiative, given the freedom to investigate independently, and work together to collaboratively enhance compassion.

Founder and teaching artist Anita Evans has been working with kids since she babysat for two-year old identical twins at the age of 12.  Since then she's had  lots of experience working with many kids, including kids with diagnosed behavioral and learning difficulties.  In addition to working with elementary school kids, she has created  theater performances with teens, and teaches preschool.  She has a masters degree from Erikson Institute in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Social-Emotional Learning.
