RedED classes and camps offer Syracuse and CNY parents exciting opportunities for your children, providing unique, educational alternatives to child care for your teen or little one. Our workshops, masterclasses, day programs, and spring break/summer courses are staffed by  professional educators from the community and teaching artists from around the country.

Space is limited for these creative, interactive, half-day workshops for your little one! These half day workshops are appropriate for students ages 6-10 years old.

The first half of the day will be spent creating in our theater! After lunch, students will view a movie that ties into their coursework and have time to create more hands-on activities at our Imagination Station.
