Basketball and Multi-Sports
Managed and run by the Greenwich Stars’ professional coaches, this program introduces your child to multiple sports so they can develop a love for the sport of their choosing. Skill sessions, expert training, and scrimmages every session in a positive and fun environment.
Cartoon Art
Let’s draw our own characters and learn about adding accessories, facial features, and emotion to our own cartoon drawings! We will cover basic anatomy, shading techniques, moods & expressions, and character design in bite-sized steps. We’ll start by lightly drawing simple shapes in specific places at the right size, adding more contrast with each step, and saving fine details for last. Then we can color our creations with strategies used by professional cartoonists. Join of TheComicTree.com
