Teenaging is hard. We get it. 

Welcome to the Bookerie

A weekly teen club for connection, fun, art, and growth.

The transitions between 5th grade to 7th grade and then 9th grade are crucial times in a teen’s development. Our goal is to provide activities that promote executive function and social-emotional skills and mood regulation. The program utilizes weekly themes with picture books as conversation starters followed by engaging activities such as art, crafts, and games.

What to do with all those yogurt containers 😉
Gelli prints are so fun (and are also so confusing to my brain)! They got so creative with their layers 😍
Add jewelry making to our many different crafts at the Bookerie 😊
Butterflies are such a beautiful metaphor for patience and this fun little craft was so good to calm our brains.
Art is such a good exercise in patience. We read the Very Impatient Caterpillar which is hilarious and talked about some of the reasons why we quit things that matter to us. Good things take time. Stay tuned for finished products 😉.
Really bad lighting but a really fun project! The bookerie is my favorite thing I’ve ever done. Teenagers are the best and I am so lucky to get to spend time with all these girls!
