๐Ÿชก We're excited to offer 40+ workshops in 2027! You'll choose how you want to spend your crafty weekend. Some workshops may have additional materials fees due upon workshop registration. You will know the fees ahead of time.

๐Ÿช‘ Our workshop classrooms range from indoor to outdoor locations.ย Classes are hosted in each space based on size and the needs of the workshop. To learn more about the classrooms and the specific seating each has, please visit the FAQ section of our website.ย 

๐ŸŒŠย Dress for the weather. While camp is hosted in the summer, it is also hosted near the water. We recommend wearing layers. Bring a sweatshirt for the morning and a hat for the afternoon.
