Join us for clay camp, where kids learn the basics of ceramics hand-building. Campers will experiment with low-fire clay and discover ways to build functional pottery as well as creative sculpture — monsters and mugs, nature-inspired works, zoo creatures, and anything they dream up. Each day, we spend most of the time learning techniques and creating, with a quick break in the middle for snacks, outdoor activities, and games.

Supervised Lunch / Extended Pick-Up/Drop-off:Each student enrolled in camp can sign up for supervised lunch. Bring your own lunch to enjoy between morning and afternoon camps (12pm-1pm). The fee for this add-on program is $25 per week.

This camp will be available to register at 8:00AM on Monday, February 2.

This exciting new camp is available to all skill levels and is a great introduction to several metalworking skills. Over the week, students will learn the basics of cold metalworking with hand tools, as well as forging with hot metal and even some welding! Don’t worry, our instructors will be sure to cover safety too. But due the higher level of focus and dexterity needed, these camps are only available to preteens and teens.

What to Wear in the Metals Studio? You must dress safely and appropriately. Arrive for class in all-natural fiber clothing, long pants, and closed-toe, closed-heel shoes with socks that protect up to the ankle. Long hair must be tied back. Nylon, polyester, spandex, or other synthetics are not allowed around machines, equipment, or processes that can produce hot fragments, sparks, or flames.

Spark your child's creativity and introduce them to the exciting world of woodworking! In this fun and safe camp, young learners will learn basic woodworking skills while crafting their own unique projects. Instructors will cover the basics of woodworking tools (supervised) and will work with students on a variety of projects. Because these camps require a higher level of focus and dexterity, they’re only for the older kiddos, but don’t worry, we cover safety first.

Create a small, leather-bound notebook that is refillable (3.5" x 5.5"). We'll build two signatures of fine writing paper of about 30 pages each. We'll sew them with linen thread and include a pocket cut and folded from cardstock. Then we'll enclose the signatures in the leather cover with an elastic cord or a leather cord, depending on preference. Participants can emboss their initials or name on the cover.
