What is playCreate?
PlayCreate is an after-school club where kids bring their ideas to life through both technology and hands-on creative experiences. Some weeks they’ll be designing video games or digital comic strips on the computer. Other weeks, they’ll take part in special Screen-Free Activity Weeks that get them building, inventing, experimenting, and creating in new ways. The program is built to spark creativity, collaboration, and confidence in a fun, flexible environment where kids of all experience levels can thrive.
Families love the flexibility PlayCreate offers. Kids can start with a free trial to see if it’s a good fit, and you can choose the registration option that works best for your schedule. There’s no prior experience required — just curiosity and a willingness to create! Whether your child attends for a few weeks or the entire school year, they’ll take part in a wide variety of creative experiences and projects, with new themes and activities to look forward to each month.
Screen-Free Week Activity themes
In addition to our computer-based creativity projects, we offer 10 special Screen-Free Activity Weeks throughout the year.
These hands-on, collaborative experiences give students new ways to create, explore, and share.

We are always looking for qualified instructors to help us grow. Please contact us if you would like to find out more about employment opportunities.
What will my child be doing in the club?
Each week in PlayCreate, kids bring their ideas to life through a mix of hands-on creative activities and digital projects. Some weeks they’ll work on the computer, designing video games, digital stories, or comic strips. Other weeks, they’ll take part in special Screen-Free Activity Weeks that get them building, inventing, and exploring in new ways. Every session is designed to spark creativity, collaboration, and confidence. No two weeks are exactly the same!
Can my child try it out first?
Yes! All students are eligible for a free trial session. This gives your child a chance to experience the club and see if it’s a good fit before you commit to additional sessions. You can request a free trial right from the registration form.
What if my child has never done any thing like this before?
No prior experience is needed! PlayCreate is designed to be welcoming and flexible for students of all experience levels. Whether your child is new to creative tech tools or already loves drawing, storytelling, or building, they’ll be able to jump in and participate at their own pace.
What are the different payment options?
We offer several flexible registration options to fit your family’s needs. You can register for a single session, a full semester, the full school year, or choose our monthly membership option. You can also start with a free trial before deciding which option works best for you. Full details are available in the Registration Options section of the page.
What if my child needs to miss a week or take a break?
