Camps follow a gentle daily rhythm: making, snack, lunch, stories and games, time outdoors, and back to projects. Groups are small, so every child gets individual attention.
New camp dates haven't been announced yet. TBD — contact for details
Camps use a drop-off window rather than an exact arrival time, for example drop-off 9:00–9:30 and pick-up 2:45–3:00. With small groups there has been extra flexibility when a family needed it.
Project materials are prepared by the instructor. A small snack is provided, and children bring their own lunch and snacks. Please let us know about any allergies when you register. Nut and water-bottle details: TBD — contact for details

Small enrollment, so sewing and embroidery groups were combined and sewing-machine work was included.
