At Lake Erie Ink, creativity doesn’t follow just one path. Some young people start with words, others with drawings, games, or big questions about who they are and what they imagine. Our programs offer many ways for kids and teens to explore storytelling, play, and self-expression. Inviting families to choose what fits now and return to discover something new.
