Sky Village NYC After School Arts Program is a unique opportunity for children 8 years and older to take part in weekly drawing and painting classes at Sky Village NYC, and kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the International Training Center of New York 22-55 31st St. in Astoria, NY (11105).

 

Inspired by the "Yin Yang Theory" in Chinese Philosophy, we believe that greater physical, mental and emotional balance can be achieved through the practice of various art forms, proper nutrition and meditation.  Our children's program will largely focus on visual and martial arts. We will also engage in a daily 10 minute "mind break"or meditation to help our students calm their nervous systems and steady their focus. Children should demonstrate an aptitude for drawing and painting to participate.  Art methods that we will focus on include Origami, 3D drawing and painting. Children will be given smocks, pencils, drawing pads, paint brushes and 1 art board per month. 

 

We feel confident with our regular after school routine your child will make significant steps towards regaining a sense of control and adopt systems for long lasting happiness and well being.

​

HOLIDAYS

 

Sky Village NYC plans to be open for all major school holidays this year.  Your child will have priority for a spot on all of these days. You are being charged a flat fee per week, so please take advantage of these holidays.  If you do not plan to attend camp on school holidays please contact Camp Director Shasta Molnar and she will add a credit to your following month's invoice. If your child decides to stay for FULL DAY camp (8am-3:30pm) your daily after school fee will be deducted from the price of FULL DAY which is $105. If you only want your child to attend HALF DAY camp (2:30-6pm) you will not be charged. IF you would like to attend camp from 8am to 6pm you will be charged $105 (price of full day camp) + $25 (extended care until 6pm) - (your daily fee). Our parents will NOT be charged for Winter Break, Mid Winter Break or Spring Break unless registered for those camps which will be priced at $525.
