Drawing Classes for Kids with Young Rembrandts
Non-Residents Welcome
Fridays
Preschool | Ages 4 to 5 | 4:00 to 4:45pm
Elementary | Ages 6 to 12 | 5:00 -6:00pm
Cartooning | Ages 6 to 12 | 6:15 to 7:15 pm
Inspire your child’s creativity with Young Rembrandts drawing classes. The secret to our success is that children already love to draw – we just take their love a little further by giving them a solid foundation that will take their drawings from doodles to confidence-boosting achievements.
During our once-a-week classes, we use an innovative step-by-step approach on drawing topics your kids can relate to and learn from.
Research supports what Young Rembrandts has always delivered. There is a correlation between involvement in the arts and academic success. Children who learn to draw using the Young Rembrandts method develop spatial reasoning and fine motor skills, order and sequencing abilities, visualization, and self-discipline, as well as fundamental art skills.
Watch your child reach a new level of potential with this engaging, award-winning program. Young Rembrandts is a different kind of learning and a powerful kind of fun.
Enroll online at www.youngrembrandts.com/southernalberta, or call us at 403-457-DRAW (3729).

Message from LCRA Manager
Hello, Lake Chaparral!
We’re rolling on through the coldest months of the year, which fortunately make for quite the winter wonderland at the park! Our teams are still working hard to maintain the lake ice and top pad for all the skaters out there, and we hope you enjoyed this year’s holiday light display!
We would like to thank everyone for attending the Learn to Ice Fish event last month, and a special thanks to Jasper Outdoors for running the program. Make sure to bring those brand-new ice-fishing skills to the Ice Fishing Derby on February 11, where there will be contests and prizes to be won!
Best wishes,
Dylan Lock
General Manager
