Supported Drop-Ins:

Need help getting started with a drop-in activity? We offer supported drop-ins for $40 plus materials, which provides extra assistance from our staff throughout your drop-in. 

Supported drop-ins are accepted on a first come first served basis and we do not accept reservations ahead of time for drop-ins of any kind (to reserve please book a private lesson or private event). For any children under 9, a supported drop-in is required if an adult is not present for supervision. For any supported drop-ins, do not leave your child unattended if they require constant supervision; Alpine Arts Center is not liable for the safety of your child during drop-in time.
