Enriching lives by providing the community with cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities.

Education

“I have always believed firmly that a good education is the most cherished gift an individual can receive.” William R. Kenan, Jr.

Educational opportunities are offered for all ages in a variety of forms: preschool; children’s and adult classes; lectures and talks with authors, artists, and experts in many fields; and workshops offered through our affiliate groups including the Kenan Quilters’ Guild and Friends of the Kenan Herb Club.

A sample of our current Educational Programs:

  • KidQuest Summer Youth Program offering unique youth programs in theater, science, art, cooking, yoga, and more!
  • Winter Playcation and Spring Playcation offering youth programming in arts, education and recreational areas during school breaks.
  • Art classes for children. With the guidance of trained artist instructors, children learn techniques for exploring a variety of media and art forms.
