Fiber Camp! Knitting Camp!


Say you're 7,8,9,10,11 or 12 years old. Say you want something to do for a week or two in the summer. Say you're a parent looking for something to occupy a kid for a week or two in the summer. You're crafty? You like doing things with your hands? How about Fiber Camp?

We are offering two different camps this summer. Knitting camp, for ages 9-12 will meet in the afternoons (12:30-3:00) and focus on teaching basic knitting techniques. Each camper will knit a sock puppet during the week-long session. Fiber camp, for ages 7-11, will meet in the morning, and give the campers exposure to a variety of fiber arts, from weaving to knitting to spinning and dying.

Both camps are offered in week-long sessions. The first session is June 25-29, the second is July 30-August 3, and the last is August 6-10. They both cost $155 per session, with a materials fee of $15 for knitting camp, or $10 for fiber camp.
