The Workshop offers a day long (9am – 3pm) program to enrich the hours of the school holidays.

Fee per day: $65
Before and after care (7:30 am – 5:30 pm) is available.

We do not need medical forms for Vacation programs unless your child will be bringing an Epi Pen or medication that may need to be administered during the course of the day. We would need the current Medical Administration form signed by the physician and the parents in order to have these medications on hand. The Rx for the prescriptions must also be with the meds.

Click on each program for complete information and link to registration.

We will pull online registration down the day before a class is scheduled. If you are trying to sign up within 24 hours of the program, you must call the Museum to check on availability. 203.777.1833

The Erector Set was produced in New Haven from 1913 to 1966. From 1918 to 1958, Erector Sets were at the top of many, many holiday gift lists. Even though no classic Erector Sets have been produced for 50 years, the sets are still a joy to experiment with.
