Virtual classes for teens and tweens

Looking for something interesting for your teens and tweens to fill their time because summer camps are mostly cancelled and jobs are scarce? There are many virtual classes options out there – from art classes to art therapy, dance to yoga, music to languages, and much more. Most of these options listed below are local businesses but some are from further afield. All are accessible with the help of a dependable internet connection and a device to connect with. Some classes are low cost or free. Others are offered at the going rate for professionals. Many of these sites gladly offer their services to adults as well.
