***IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM CREATIVITY LAB***

First and foremost, we hope that this message finds you and your family well as we are living through an unprecedented and concerning time.



Your safety and the safety of all our young creators and camp facilitators is Creativity Lab’s top priority. As such, we have taken a careful and informed approach in evaluating whether to run a summer camp program this year.



After a thorough evaluation, we have concluded that based on the information available to us of likely restrictions, we will NOT be able to conduct on-site enrichment camps this summer.


We are also announcing that as of June 1st we will no longer facilitate classes, parties or camps at our 809 Main Street location. We are still planning to offer a variety of off-site enrichment programs and field trips in collaboration with our local schools and recreation departments upon the return to school.

We are issuing refunds for all summer camp registrations and birthday party deposits. If you have a gift card balance, please contact us regarding your options.


Please feel free to email [email protected] if you should have any questions.



We know that enrichment activities are more important than ever for our kiddos at this time and we look forward to getting back to building and creating with you all soon.

Friday Field trip with 50 First graders at Shrewsbury Borough Schools.

We believe kids are capable of a lot more than they are often given credit for and our classes, trips, camps, and workshops reflect this as we support children to create projects using real materials with real tools.

These kiddos did an amazing job and were a blast to spend the morning with too!

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” -Maya Angelou

We’re five weeks into our after school enrichment classes with a great group of kiddos at Belmar Elementary. That childlike wonder and creativity is there every week and is such a special thing to witness, but at the same time we’re building real skills working with real tools.

Super proud of this group. Hope they inspire you too!

A wonderful article noting many of the reasons we absolutely love Scratch 3.0 as a creative coding platform.

We’re running a camp completely dedicated to coding in Scratch this summer, as well as incorporating Scratch into our GIRLS STEAM camp too. Creativity and confidence 🌟

At Creativity Lab, we are so lucky 🥰to have the most inquisitive, creative, and fun group of kiddos to build with throughout the year.
We’re so thankful to the amazing parents and families who have been passionately spreading the word about our programs and camps, and introducing us to even more awesome builders. 🌟 So of course we want to reward all of you for doing just this, and are introducing the Summer of STEAM: Referral Program.

Does your kiddo have friends that want to build robots, code or craft with us this summer too? 🤖 🎨 🔨 🖥

We’ll give them 15% off their camp registration and give you $50 for each new camper you send our way, and it gets better… That’s just the first five, starting with your sixth referral, it goes up to $100 per camper! 💥

But how? You ask… it’s simple. We will give you a personalized discount code (your Ambassador Number), and every time a new camper registers using your Ambassador Number, they automatically get 15% off and we credit your account with your referral fees!

Interested: send us a message and we’ll get you set up!

January was an especially fun month, filled with birthday parties, some special Girl Scout visits (so happy to give out our Creativity Lab badges to the troops), inspiring little robot builders, and new after school enrichment sessions kicking off.

Spent the month off social media for the most part to have a little extra special time with my kiddos (bc we’re all working on that work/life balance, right?)but here’s a few favorites❤️

Coming up....
