Our Camps & Classes Stand Out

My seven-year-old has a deep passion for art, with many of his own works proudly displayed in his room. He looks forward to attending this camp every year because of the variety of creative activities offered. From origami and jewelry making to clay sculpting, painting, and mixed media, there's always something new to explore. He eagerly heads to camp every morning, excited about the day's artistic adventures. The teachers at Dragonfly Designs are exceptional. They quickly connect with the students and cultivate a supportive environment. This nurturing approach has made summer camp a highlight for my son two years in a row.

My daughter (age 9) has been taking Dragonfly Design's after school jewelry making class all year. She and her friends absolutely love it! It is her favorite afterschool activity by far and the jewelry she has learned to make is outstanding. I highly recommend DD's after school classes as well as their birthday parties (we did one of those too and it was great!).

My daughters, ages 6 and 8, participated in a week long summer camp, and loved every minute of it. They said it was their favorite camp ever! The instructor is great, and the girls brought home memorable art pieces and jewelry. Thank you Stacee!

Bring sunscreen, hats, and jackets for outdoor play.
Label any prescription medication and provide clear instructions to staff.
Label all removable, personal belongings.

Our wonderful staff are college educated and comply with California standards for working on school campuses including TB testing and background checks through the DOJ and FBI.

What is the student-teacher ratio?

Our student-teacher ratio does not exceed 12:1 and is often much lower.

What are your cancellation and change policies?

When registering through a local school or Parks and Recreation department, please contact them to cancel or change your plans.
