A cozy, creative 2-hour winter art camp for K–3rd graders
We’re running small-group Winter Break Art Camps at the Sacred Heart Cathedral School Art Room for kindergarten through 3rd graders. Each 2-hour session gives your child time to explore winter-themed projects, try new materials, and bring home something they’re proud of, while you get a quiet block during break.
- Held at the Sacred Heart Cathedral School Art Room
- 2-hour sessions: 10 am –12 pm on select winter break days
- New winter-themed project each session – kids can attend one or multiple days
- All supplies included – just drop off and pick up
Created by Lauren and Patrick Mines, Knoxville parents and founders of Unicorn World.
What your child will do in 2 hours
Each session features a different winter-themed project so kids can come once or multiple times without repeating the same activity.
- Paint cozy winter landscapes using watercolor and oil pastel
- Create mixed-media snowmen and collages
- Build a simple 3D winter sculpture to bring home
We focus on creativity, confidence, and finishing a project they’re excited to show you at pickup.

From the creators of Unicorn World
We’re Lauren and Patrick Mines, Knoxville parents and creators of Unicorn World, the touring family experience that’s hosted over 300,000 guests across the U.S. Now we’re bringing that same organization and care to small-group Winter Break Art Camps. This camp is a completely separate, non-unicorn-themed art program focused on winter projects and creativity.
