SCHOOL BREAK CAMPS

Join us for exciting makering activities and fun during a “break” that coincides with a single-day or week-long school closure. We kick-off each day with a morning maker project, followed by a brief mid-morning break to relax or jump on the trampoline, and then a cooking project. At lunchtime, we venture to one of the nearby parks for a picnic and some physical activity! The afternoon session may continue with the morning project or introduce a new one. We end the afternoon by cleaning up the Makerspaces and reflecting on the day.

Each Break camp includes ambitious, age-appropriate, and fun maker projects, which could include crafts, art, gardening, cooking, design, science, music, life skills, sewing, carpentry, or a combination of these. Each project incorporates the safe use of various tools, integrates upcycled materials through a range of creative techniques, and promotes the development of life skills. All projects are demonstrated using best practices, while individual creativity is celebrated.

The details:

School Break Camps run from 9:00am–3:30pm on specified no-school days.
Camps are open to young makers in 2nd–8th grades and are intentionally small, with a maximum of 6 makers.
All necessary supplies and materials are included.
Cooking projects are part of each camp. Please let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions so accommodations can be made.
Please bring a snack, lunch, and water bottle each day.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a sweatshirt or jacket for outdoor activities.
Visit our sign-up page to explore upcoming camp dates and themes, then reserve your spot.
