Hot off the press and en route to your mailbox, our 2018 Registration Guide is on the way!  Twenty-eight pages chock full of class information and schedules, the Registration Guide also includes dates for this summer’s Cove Walks, Open Sailing/Kayaking sessions, 5K/1K Road Race, Reid Sacco Family Regatta and two open swim events for families.
 
A big THANK YOU to everyone who provided feedback at the end of last summer – with your suggestions we have added some fun new classes this year – please continue to send us suggestions! Learn all about our new and expanded offerings — Mini Worlds, Mixed Media, Wearable Arts/Fiber Arts, Keelboat Sailing, and Island and Seaside Exploration  — and find the schedules for all your usual KBIA favorites as well. The Registration Guide is available online in its entirety and also broken down by age and week.  With over 50 classes being offered, there are many options to explore. For a complete list of class descriptions be sure to visit our website.
 
Need another copy for yourself or a friend? (Week 1 classes require no membership June 25-29, so spread the word!) Just let us know!
 
Registration officially opens Monday, April 2…we look forward to hearing from you!

All are welcome to join!  It is the continuous generosity of KBIA members and friends that enable us to provide children the same safe, fun, beautiful, and nurturing learning environment that has been provided to generations of children, while allowing us the opportunity to grow and improve our programs.
 
Annual membership fees help support KBIA’s programs. We’re proud to be a place that lets children be children and lets them explore the vast and rugged beauty of the Coast of Maine in summer, while building knowledge, leadership, and respect for themselves, others and their world. We’re particularly proud of the scholarships we offer to children in the Kennebunk area who might otherwise not be able to take advantage of our KBIA enrichment programs, and of our many other community endeavors.
 
Membership fees remain a crucial element for us to achieve operational breakeven, to allow us to provide local scholarships, and to keep the cost of classes down. 
 
All of us at KBIA thank you for your continued backing and generous contributions. We would not be able to provide exemplary programming and quality instruction without your generosity.
