handwork summer camps

from $280.00

at maypop, summer camp is a slow & steady, hands-on creative space where kids work with natural materials to make, explore and build confidence in their own making.

each camp session is rooted in handwork and tactile craft processes like hand stitching, weaving, ceramics, natural dyeing and more. there’s also plenty of space for imagination, storytelling and open-ended creative work.

we move at a steady, grounded pace, allowing kids to actually learn skills, not just complete quick projects. camp is a place for creativity, curiosity and the quiet satisfaction of working with your hands.

children will be guided through accessible fiber arts and craft techniques and will leave with finished pieces, new skills and a deeper relationship to their own creativity.
