In-Store Apple Classes for Kids
Apple Store classes for kids change periodically, but they all have a few things in common. First, you can bring your own Apple device or one will be provided for kids to use for free. This means these classes are a good way to introduce kids to technology that they may not be able to use regularly.
Classes are free and meet just once. (Except the Apple Camps, more on those later).
Instructors will walk kids through how to use the device and required apps to complete the class objective.
Currently, the Apple Store is offering the following classes for kids:
- Photo Lab for Kids: Fun Family Portraits
- Video Lab for Kids: Adventures in Movie Making
- Video Lab for Kids: Making a Movie Trailer
- Music Lab for Kids: Making a Theme Song
- Coding Skills: Getting Started with Swift Playgrounds (Ages 12 and up)
- Design Lab: Draw Your Astronaut Inspired by Snoopy in Space
- Art Lab for Kids: Make Your Own Emoji
Class offerings vary by Apple Store location. Visit Today at Apple to find classes near you.

Things to Know about Apple Camps and Classes for Kids
These are not drop-off events. Parents are expected to stay in the store, although they do not have to assist their child. Parents with younger siblings in tow may appreciate a small section of the store with iPads full of apps for young children during this time. Parents will also have the opportunity to learn about new Apple technology, keeping kids safe on Apple devices, and other relevant topics.
Mom Tip: Swing by the coffee shop on the way in and then just enjoy watching your kids learn something new.
