Join us for Love the Beat: Percussion & Valentine Workshop

Love Is in the Air—and in the Rhythm! 💕🥁

Bring the whole family for a hands-on workshop where creativity meets music!
Create one-of-a-kind Valentine’s cards using colorful papers and playful designs, explore the art of paper quilling for older artists ready to try something new, and jump into the beat with a lively mix of percussion instruments from around the world.

Whether you’re crafting, curling paper into beautiful shapes, or drumming together, this workshop is all about expressing love, creativity, and joy—no experience needed, just curiosity and a sense of fun!

Building a Space for Curiosity & Creativity

We’re hard at work transforming our new space into a vibrant hub for learning and exploration. Soon, it will be home to interactive exhibits, a Tinkering Club where visitors can build and create, a rentable classroom space, and so much more. This is just the beginning!

How Can I Help?

We’re in the process of updating the space and moving into our new location at Camp Arroyo Grande—and we can’t do it without you. Help bring this vision to life by making a donation today.

STEAMtrunk is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your support directly fuels hands-on learning, creativity, and innovation in our community.

👉 Donate today and be part of the build.

 What will Hikers do?

A Camp Guide leads a 1.5 hour tour of Camp AG, including the east and west ridges with views of Arroyo Grande Valley, the Pacific Ocean and Oceano Dunes. Hikers will observe and identify natural plant and animal life, track local animals, be on “Scat Alert”, and discuss ways to preserve our natural environment.

How can we extend our Discovery Hike experience?

  • Each Hiker receives a Goodie Bag filled with Camp AG logo-ed reminders of the day: water bottle, notebook, pencil, stickers, bracelet, and patch.
  • Group leaders receive grade/age appropriate resources to use in a classroom, (or at home), to reinforce the learning from your Discovery Hike.
