    Campers build specific skills sets through one-week, project-based classes. In addition to structured class and craft time there is daily free play and playground visits, weather permitting. Every Wednesday, the entire group ventures on a textile or art-related field trip. Each weekly session concludes on Friday afternoon with an Open House where family and friends are invited to view projects on display!
