SpongeBob Under-the-Sea Craft Adventure (Ages 8+)
For kids ages 8 and up, this two-and-a-half hour drop-off session offers a colorful SpongeBob-themed crafting experience for $59 per participant. Creators will complete two imaginative projects, take a quick snack break, snap themed photos, and try their luck at the Violet's Crayon claw machine. Each participant builds a freestanding, SpongeBob-inspired character on a wooden base, then designs a waterless mini aquarium with bright stones, tropical greenery, and playful undersea details. The scene can stay classic and oceany, or lean into a Summerween twist with pumpkins, quirky mushrooms, and other whimsical accents. Everyone heads home with two finished artworks, a prize from the claw machine, and plenty of happy memories. Pre-registration is required and capacity is limited. Marking Interested or Going on Facebook will not hold a spot.

Each exercise can be tailored to a dog’s individual needs, offering a gentle mental workout for older, physically limited, or shy dogs while keeping energetic pups challenged. Class size is limited to six dogs to allow for personalized guidance. Pricing options include $200 per month for four classes or $35 for a single drop in session.
