*Sewing Camp 5th-8th grade

In this Sewing Camp for rising 5th–8th graders, students will build on basic sewing skills while creating fun and useful projects such as tote bags, zipper pouches, pillow covers, and other beginner-friendly items. This camp is great for students who are brand new to sewing as well as those who have taken a camp or class before and are ready to take on more responsibility at the machine.

Students in this age group are introduced to more of the behind-the-scenes prep work that goes into sewing projects, including measuring, cutting, pressing, and problem-solving. Our instructors guide students step-by-step while encouraging independence and confidence as skills grow. The focus is on learning real sewing skills in a supportive, encouraging environment — and having fun while doing it.

All fabric and supplies are included in the course fee, along with sewing machine use. There is no discount for bringing your own machine.

Quick Camp FAQ (Read Before Registering)

Which camp is best for my child?

• Sewing: crafts, bags, pillows, fun projects

• Fashion: garments + patterns

• Quilting: make a quilt

• Advanced: plushies, sleep masks, pajama pants

Can my child repeat a camp?
Yes! We switch up projects each session. Repeating beginner camps builds confidence and skills.

How do age groups work?

• Rising 1st–4th: we do more prep (cutting/pressing) so kids can focus on sewing and finishing projects.

• 5th–8th: students learn more of the prep work themselves.

• Teen & Fashion 2: more independent, skill-focused.

Two camps in one day?
Yes, if times don’t overlap. We don’t provide lunch and staff take a mid-day break, so you may need to meet your child for lunch. Afternoon → late afternoon pairings work best.

Can parents stay?
Camp is a closed environment. We ask parents not to stay so kids can focus and everyone feels comfortable. Medical exceptions require prior approval + background check. (All staff are background-checked.)

Food & drinks?
Water only in the sewing area. Snacks must be eaten at a separate table if time allows.

Pick-up policy (all ages):
