We're launching something new this summer!

We’re opening our space to a smaller, more intentional experience for kids.

A hands-on camp for makers ages 8–11, built around creativity, real materials, and the kind of projects kids are proud to bring home.

Each week blends:

Wood, clay, fiber, and hands-on making
Outdoor time and nature-based learning
Mindfulness exercises to help makers slow down, focus, and rest

We’re keeping groups small (max of 16 makers) so every child gets thoughtful guidance and room to grow.

Because of this, space is limited and we expect the camps to fill.

As part of our community, you're the first to hear about it.

Camps are typically $419 per week.

Use code EARLYBIRD to get a week for $399!

Early pricing expires 4/3.
