This week's theme is Earth Week!

It’s Earth week at the Lab and that means a lot of blue and green earth themed fun! Join us for paper clay paintings in the art lab and layers of the Earth and atmosphere projects at the science station. And, we’re finally trying out a pizza fundraiser on Friday – come share a slice with friends & paint together! 🍕 Link to purchase pizza: https://pos.familylearninglab.org/familylearninglab/checkout/default/products?id=46  

🌞Summer Programming Is Live! 🌞

My plan to survive the summer is officially live and ready for you to claim your spots! (we all knew those vouchers were ending, let’s ramp up for summer fun!)

Don’t worry, our summer plans are FULL of over the top fun art, crafts, play, and science!

Love The Lab? Buy a Summer Pass!

Buy a Summer Pass and book unlimited sessions at FamLab all summer long – that’s 10 weeks of FamLab Fun. PLUS – get $5 off each family member’s entrance to our Friday afternoon Open Paint & Slime Sessions. 

Price is $250/child, so it makes sense if you think you’ll come to 25 sessions over the 10 weeks of summer programming. Otherwise, you can book as many sessions as you like at $10 each.

Get $50 off a summer pass if you buy before May 1st, bringing the cost down to $200/ea. 

You can also book multiple summer sessions now and help us with some cash flow – plus secure spots before they fill up! Reservations are self manageable through your email ticket, so no need to worry if a date you picked doesn’t work – you can change your reservation any time.

I put so many fun things into the camp sessions… The first 5 schedules are published now, take a look!

Scroll to see the first 5 weeks: >>>

Last day of regular programming is May 22nd.

Join us for an incredible End of School Bash on May 22nd! We’ll have non-stop fun all day at the lab. Stay tuned for more info, but save that date – trust me, you’re going to want to be here! And we’d LOVE to party with all our FamLab friends!

What happens if you have extra passes after May 22nd

If you have passes that extend past May 22nd, please talk with us about converting them into summer sessions. Please note that one day pass will equal one 2 hour summer session. The pricing is different since our programming is completely different during the summer. Thank you for understanding!

You will have until June 1st to convert/book summer sessions with your leftover passes. We don’t want a single person feeling like they didn’t get their money’s worth, so please email us or talk with us about them!
