In this immersive fiber arts camp, older students will explore traditional handcraft skills rooted in history and the natural world. Campers will learn techniques such as weaving, felting, and working with natural fibers while discovering where materials come from and how people have used them for generations. This week blends creativity, patience, and skill-building, giving students the confidence that comes from making something beautiful with their own hands.

A Typical Camp Day (Ages 9+)

Drop-off begins at 9:55am

Pick-up is promptly at 1:00pm

Our camps for older students follow a structured, in-depth rhythm designed to support focus, skill-building, and meaningful exploration.

Each day begins with arrival and a short open work period, allowing students to settle in and prepare for the day’s work. We gather for a focused morning meeting to introduce the day’s concept, guiding question, or skill focus before moving into deeper investigation and hands-on project time.

Campers spend extended blocks of time engaged in skill development, scientific observation, collaborative challenges, or detailed creative work. These sessions are intentionally immersive, encouraging persistence, problem-solving, and thoughtful craftsmanship.

We pause mid-morning for snack and movement before returning to continued project work or field-style investigation. After a community lunch together, the group participates in a collaborative activity, reflection discussion, or applied challenge that helps synthesize what they’ve learned.

These camps are designed to stretch older learners- building confidence, independence, and pride in producing work that is both thoughtful and skillful.

Campers should bring:

• A snack

• A packed lunch

• A water bottle

Please have your child wear comfortable clothes that can get messy. Many of our projects involve art materials, natural elements, or hands-on exploration, and we fully embrace the creative process. Please label all food containers, water bottles, and personal belongings.

Because camps are intentionally small and supplies are prepared ahead of time, all registrations are non-refundable.
