Heidi Yribar, the Founder and CEO of Antsy Nancy, is always up to something, which is a great thing. She and the creative team now have a second location — making even more space for even more workshops and classes.

The original location is at 5655 E. River Rd. and the new spot opened earlier this year at the Tucson Mall, 4500 N. Oracle Rd. #110.

Right now, enrollment is open for Antsy Nancy’s Weekly Summer Camps for Kids.

Don’t hesitate to sign up the young ones for these workshops because they usually fill up quickly! The Summer Camps kick off on Monday, May 27, and are then sprinkled throughout the following months.

“We have some best-selling camps from last year that we are bringing back, like French Baking Week, where campers will learn to make macarons, croissants, and madeleines,” said Yribar.

During Cake Decorating Week, they’ll teach piping and fondant skills, and once Spa Week rolls around, campers will make bath bombs and melt-and-pour soaps.

“We’ve also developed a few new camps we’re super excited about,” Yribar added. “We’re introducing a Baking Around the World morning session and ‘What’s for Dinner?’ — our Cooking Around the World afternoon session. Kiddos have the option to take both sessions, spending 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Antsy Nancy and heading home with dinner and dessert for their family of four. Our ‘Around the World’ menu includes tasty items like Greek turkey gyros and baklava, and Mexican street tacos and churros.”

Another camp they’re pumped about is Artists and Crafts Week.

Each day, participants will focus on the artwork of one of the masters (Picasso, Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, and Da Vinci) before working on an activity inspired by one of their most famous works of art. For example, when studying Vincent Van Gogh, they’ll create sunflower floral arrangements.

“During our focus on Edgar Degas, we will create no-sew ballerina tutus and bowties,” said Yribar.
