Firefly Valley Pottery- Open by appointment only — Local services in Asheville

I am absolutely delighted I found this camp in my daughter's first school summer! We will hopefully be able to do it every year. She loved it, I loved it, and I feel so good about the community impact. This camp gives out scholarships to help truly be accessible to all families. Other camps may offer sliding scale but still be outside the range of possible for many folks! I LOVE that this camp starts later in the morning (10am) because we hate having to rush out the door every morning for school and I don't think camp should be that way! My daughter (6) has been talking about pottery camp for weeks now and it was truly a highlight of her summer. The teachers seem super loving and I adored the way they did the ceremony acknowledging each child for their unique self at the art show. We will be delighted to collect my daughter's ceramics...

He’s met some fun friends outside of his school network through camps. I highly recommend giving these classes and camps a try. They offer homeschool classes and summer/spring/winter camps which are great for year-round...

My 12-year-old son had the opportunity to be a "Helper" during the Spanish Language Week in August 2025.

This was his first time as a "Helper" and it provided a chance for him to be a leader. Ona was very supportive and set him up for success with the activities/games he led in the afternoon. After one year of Spanish classes in school, the Spanish Language Week allowed him to practice his Spanish skills in a supportive atmosphere. We are grateful for this incredible opportunity at...
