Expand Your Horizons

Arts & Education Programs

HRCA's arts and education programs expand horizons of both young and old. Creativity and learning are critical to growth and development of children and necessary to remaining youthful as adults and vital for seniors.

Art Classes

Art stimulates and develops the imagination. HRCA offers a wide variety of art classes from drawing to film making for children and adults. All classes are hands on, educational, and fun.

Note: Art supplies are not needed for the first day of any art class. The instructors hand out a supply list at the first class.

Fun in the Kitchen

Cooking Classes

HRCA’s cooking classes teach hands-on cooking techniques that help you to be more productive and comfortable in the kitchen. Our culinary chefs will teach you how to make various new recipes you can recreate for your family. Children will learn pre-reading skills by reading recipes and develop math skills while measuring ingredients. Cooking parties are taught in a group format.

Due to the nature of our programs, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free kitchen. The HRCA kitchen is not a gluten-free kitchen. We cannot accommodate gluten-free or dairy allergies at this time.

Dance Recital Information

Students who register for dance class sessions are eligible for the dance recital at the end of the season unless otherwise stated in the class description. Recital routines are choreographed by instructors and taught in the child’s class. This performance gives your child the experience of performing for an audience. The dance recital is a separate registration fee from the registered dance class and includes a costume and photo.
