25 Years of School4Santas. Two Full Days of World-Class Instruction. One Unforgettable Weekend!
For 25 years, Tim Connaghan has helped Christmas performers develop the skills, confidence, professionalism, and heart that bring the magic of Santa Claus to life. Now, in partnership with the Tri-State Santa Consortium, we're bringing that experience right here to South Jersey!
With limited seating and interest expected from Christmas performers throughout the region and beyond, we fully anticipate this special anniversary workshop will sell out fast.
Don't just wear the suit. Become the Santa they'll remember for a lifetime!
Come for the education. Stay for the fellowship. Leave with the magic!
Proudly presented by the Tri-State Santa Consortium (TS2C) in conjunction with Tim Connaghan, National Santa, and the International University of Santa Claus — School4Santas.
