Creative fun for kids of all ages has been a focus of Shake Rag Alley programming since its founding in 2004. Children’s classes began that year as an after-school arts and crafts program and continue to expose participants to new skills and creative engagement every June-August.

For 2023, we’ll be offering classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday  June-August for kids in age ranges K-2/the Littles, Grades 3-6, and Tweens & Teens. We’ll also offer several day camps. Craft Camp: The Biodiversity of Bugs is June 26-30, and we’ll be making a community project for the July 4th parade. Our Free Arts Camp: Making Your Mark is July 24-28. Join us for a Performing Arts Camp August 14-18 and explore your voice & creativity at our Alley Stage.

Classes and camps are either 9 am-noon or 1-4 pm and will be focused on a fun and educational craft, with time for exploring, and simple snack. If you’re joining us for a camp, those are 5-day experiences, and we look forward to seeing you all five days. If you have questions, please contact the Shake Rag Alley staff at (608) 987-3292.  

Many thanks to the artists of all ages who help make Shake Rag Alley such a magical place. And thank you to the Mineral Point Community Chest  for their financial support.
