Description:

Craft and Tech Young Makers gives our 9 to 14-year-old campers a taste of what it’s like to create at our makerspace every day. Guided by our passionate and skilled instructors, campers will learn to use a variety of materials, techniques, and tools.

We empower our young makers to decide collectively on the projects they do each day, ensuring that each activity mirrors our campers' unique creativity and interests. Each project  aims to spark curiosity, encourage innovative thought, and allows campers to create something unique they can't wait to show off.

Here's a preview of some exciting projects they might choose from:

• Ice Dyeing- Turn plain t-shirts into truly unique pieces of art using ice, powdered dye, and your imagination.

• The Magic of Resin -  Design unique keychains, jewelry, or charms, and learn about how liquid resin hardens with UV light.

• Stamp Carving - Design your own rubber stamp, and learn about the art of printmaking!

• Sewing for Beginners - Create adorable toys or pillows, and hone your sewing skills.

• Jewelry-making Extravaganza - Explore various jewelry-making techniques, from macrame to wire bracelets and upcycled silverware charms.

• Paper Making - Recycle your old homework into art paper!

On the final day, campers will showcase their projects, explain their techniques, and demonstrate how they utilized our space.
