Those of us with experience in the kitchen how much joy gets poured in when preparing a meal for someone else and we want to share that feeling with others. We believe that cooking and baking skills are learned best when elbow-to-elbow with someone who's done it before, so we provide a warm environment for our students to learn, grow, and connect with one another. When working with young learners in the kitchen, we sneak in mini math and science lessons (it's never a bad time to talk about boiling points and the fundamentals of fractions, right?) and stick to very simple recipes to help our young chefs gain confidence! We hope you'll sign up to cook up some FUN with us. Find Programs Tinkering At Southport FUNdamentals, we believe that "tinkering" is a fun way to get young learners interested in engineering...whether fixing a broken toy or fixing broken code at a programming class. When faced with fixing something that is broken, we take things apart, read instruction manuals, share ideas respectfully, watch videos of other people solving similar problems, and always focus on safety. While sharing the sheer thrill of repairing something that wasn't working properly before, our instructors teach students the properties of materials and the importance of testing when designing and building. Most importantly, we teach the fundamentals of creative problem-solving and hope to inspire the next generation of innovators. Find Programs Sewing, Knitting & Crochet Mending a loose button or a rip in your pants is a critical life skill, not to mention an absolutely awesome feeling! We are here to teach adults and/or youngsters the fundamentals of sewing, knitting, and crochet (as well as how to fold a fitted sheet for anyone interested!) in a judgment-free and patient environment. The fun part is seeing the shining eyes of the student who holds up their finished project with pride! There is nothing like it! We will be sew* very happy if you'll join us! *see what we did there? Find Programs Movement & Exercise At Southport FUNdamentals, we believe that moving your body is essential for both physical and mental health.

We offer a variety of classes taught by skilled instructors who focus on moving your body through yoga, dance, and strength and conditioning classes. We feel strongly that all our classes, especially those related to movement and exercise, are a safe space for our students to learn in a judgment-free environment. All are welcome to come join us and start moving and grooving! Find Programs Arts & Crafts Here at SopoFUN, we know everyone is an artist at heart. We provide our students the opportunity to explore and discover their creative potential in a fun and supportive setting. Our professional instructors will guide students through artistic adventures, such as turning something plain into something amazing, creating art out of everyday objects, and making ourselves laugh by attempting to recreate art projects seen in TikTok videos! Our mission is to provide a judgment-free and light-hearted environment where our students can express themselves and release their inner artists. We invite you to join us and discover yours! Find Programs Languages Learning a language is an exciting and rewarding journey and we want to help open those doors for members of our community.

Find Programs Personal & Professional Growth Southport FUNdamentals offers classes for adults that focus on a range of topics at convenient times that fit into busy schedules.

Just bring enough food and drinks for your guests, and make yourself at home! Move anything you need to move, and let us know how we can help make it a great day for the guest of honor AND the party planners. *Read reviews* *Jump to pics* We keep our pricing simple. We charge $400 for a 2-hour party -- this includes 30-minutes before and 30-minutes after for set-up and clean-up, so your private rental is really 3 hours long! If you want a long er party, we'll simply add $50 for each additional half hour. We can also offer $350 for a 1.5-hour party. If you want an even shorter party to save on costs, we would love to discuss that wi th you! We keep our pricing as low as we can by offering a "DIY" private space, which means we will mop and take out the trash after your party, but we expect you to leave the space as you found it . If you are not in the mood to clean up the toys and dining tables after the party, you are welcome to just add a $50 cleaning fee to your balance due. For parties with more than 50 guests in total, we will need to add a $50 cleaning fee to your balance. As noted above, all p rivate rentals inclu de t wo 30-minute buffers (before for set-up, after for break-down ). That means, t hose who book 2-hour parties, have the entire space for 3 hours in total. On the day of the party, you'll bring your own food/drinks/decorations/disposable silverware and plates/tablecloths to suit your theme and you can move our furniture (including folding tables/stools for seating) to your liking. If you want to bring a piñata, please remember that our space is nut-free (some of the students who use our space during the week for enrichment classes are severely allergic) ... no nuts please! If you want something special like a ring light to set up a photo booth/selfie station -or- to borrow a projector to showcase a rotating PowerPoint deck or a still photo, those add-ons are just $40 each and can be added to your balance due--just let us know in advance if you want us to have these available for you. W e keep the booking p rocess simple, too. You send an email to Ms. Risa at hello@southportfundamentals.com to ask about availa bility on your ideal times/dates. We will respond with the available times/dates that might be a match for you. You select the start/end time and date for your party, and we will email you the link you can use to reserve your spot with a $1 00 deposit which will be applied to the balance unless you cancel ( you'll pay the balance closer to the date of the party). If you aren't the "DIY" type, we are here to help! Ms. Risa , your ultimate party buddy (and event planning compatriot), will be happy to brainstorm ideas or share contact info for people you can hire if you want something special such as balloon artists, face painters, art teachers, music teachers, karaoke jockeys, DJs, magicians, etc. But, bringing in outside entertainers is completely up to you—lots of people have super fun parties at our space without hiring anyone at all because we have so many fun toys and games, so just go with what works best for you! That's it. That's all there is to it! GET STARTED Anchor 1 Video credit: Dan Stepanian-Bennett Want to see MORE pictures? 📷 Click here to see more pictures of our party rooms!
