Beginner Wargaming - Miniature Painting and War Gaming (Grades 4+):

This class introduces young hobbyists to the world of miniature painting and wargaming, perfect for those new to the craft or with little experience looking to build their skills. Kids will learn the basics of painting and modeling while exploring popular game systems like Warhammer 40K, Kill Team, Middle-Earth, and Star Wars: Legion. The class begins with hands-on painting and hobbying, where kids will receive guidance from a skilled miniature painting instructor, discussing each game's lore and basic rules. As students complete their models, they’ll transition into gameplay, using the miniatures they've created to learn strategy and tactics in a fun, supportive environment. By the end of the semester, each student will have a fully painted miniature and the foundational knowledge to enjoy their models in future games.
