YASS SUMMER CREATIVE SERIES offers small-group, neurodivergent-friendly creative experiences designed to foster creativity, confidence, emotional intelligence, friendship, and self-expression in psychologically safe environments.

At YASS, we believe creativity belongs to everyone. Our camps combine improvisation, visual arts, storytelling, creative exploration, and collaborative experiences without competition or pressure to perform. Whether your child loves art, stories, imagination, friendship, or simply having a space where they can be themselves, YASS is designed to help them explore, create, connect, and grow.

ABOUT THE YASS OWNER & INSTRUCTOR:

Hello! My name is Victoria Wagner, and I am the Owner and Creative Director of Yes, And Story Studio (YASS). I bring over 20 years of professional childcare experience and over 30 years of theatre and improvisation experience.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with children from infancy through adolescence as a professional nanny, Postpartum Doula, educator, and creative facilitator. I believe every child (and adult) deserves a space where they feel safe, supported, respected, and free to explore their creativity without fear of judgment or competition.

At YASS, I combine my backgrounds in childcare, theatre, improvisation, and arts education to create neurodivergent-friendly, community-centered experiences that foster creativity, confidence, emotional intelligence, friendship, and self-expression for all.

If you have questions about YASS Summer Creative Series programs, accessibility accommodations, whether a camp may be a good fit for your child, or what YASS offers for adults, please don't hesitate to reach out.
