Youth Program (ages 5-14)
CHILDREN AGES 5 to 14 — We are excited to announce the 2022 Saint Kosmas Conference CHILDREN’S PROGRAM which includes three days of Arts & Crafts projects, Outdoor Sessions of Archery and Astronomy, as well as “Talks with the Youth.” Arts & Crafts Projects include: Collage Card-Making project (Paschal theme), Watercolor (Paschal theme), Decorate a Pascha Candle, Decorate a Wooden Egg with Traditional Ukrainian Designs, Personalize a water bottle and back pack, Weaving project, Crochet project, and much more! (See schedule of activities below.) We will be admitting a maximum of 100 children between the ages of 5 and 14 to register for the 2022 Children’s Program. The Children’s Program (ages 5-14) will be divided into 4 “cohorts” (Groups A - D) who will rotate through the various activities as a group of 25 children per cohort. (See rotation schedule below). Each cohort will have a minimum of 3 adult staff members with them at all times: one cohort lead who will stay with each group as they move between activities, and two activity leads who will remain at each activity station serving as instructors for the projects. Note: as of December 1, we are already at a quarter capacity for the children’s program. Register today! Scroll down for pricing.
Children ages 0-4
CHILDREN AGES 0-4 may participate in the 2022 Saint Kosmas Conference while in the care of their parents. Based on our past experience, children in this age category, need to be with a parent or adult that is familiar to them. In order to make it possible for parents to get as much from the conference lectures as possible while still caring for their little ones, we will provide a carpeted toddler/preschool play area (with toys, books, and coloring supplies) in the Geronimo A meeting room which will be the location of all of the primary homeschool sessions. In addition, the keynote lectures will be live-streamed to Geronimo A so that parents can hear the keynote presentations while caring for active little ones. This will also give parents with children under age 5 a relaxed place to connect with other parents of children the same age. Admission to Geronimo A will require that both parent and child be registered for the conference. Families are also welcome to bring a babysitter with them to the conference to care for their toddlers and preschoolers while the parent is in lectures. For policy and rates related to registering a babysitter to accompany your family at the conference, contact us.
