Daily Overview:

On the first day, campers will play fun, get-to-know-you games, learn the basic schedule for the day, discuss safety protocols and tool usage basics, then jump into our creative activities. We will have mindful time for a bathroom break between each activity period and stretch out to reset to start a new activity. Projects are based on experience and abilities. Campers joining us for the first time will create a simple first project to use our tools like child-friendly scissors. Our friends who have previously participated in this camp before will use their acquired skills to advance into an intermediate project. Every day, campers will practice the skills they are working on and build on them by learning more complicated techniques. At the end of the week, campers will have created a creative array of projects, and they will celebrate their accomplishments by putting together an art show, after which they’ll receive a certificate of completion.

Activities will include the following:

Reading stories daily.
Morning Circle will consist of discussing the day of the week, weather, the question of the day and songs.
Playing games, coloring, dancing and simple yoga.
Creating puppets, stuffed animals, wearable items like crowns and capes and decorative projects.

Fashion Bootcamp (2 week program)

Studio Name: Fashion

Calling all fashionistas! Does your child dream of being the next great fashion designer or just want to have creative ownership of their style? Indulge their passion for fashion through this Boot Camp, where they’ll learn how to design, create and produce their own clothing line. This three-week course will teach fashion sketching, how to choose and work with a variety of fabrics and materials to get the right look, proper and safe use of a sewing machine and how to construct their designs. Throughout the week, campers will explore clothing development, design their own collection, shop for their materials and, of course, create a runway show as a finale. Many campers benefit from taking our Fashion & Machine Sewing Camp prior, but no experience is necessary to strut right in.

Skills Learned:

Daily Overview:

Week 1: On the first day, campers will get to know one another, learn the schedule for the day and discuss safety protocols as well as the overall expectations of camp. Campers will begin the fashion design process by learning about inspiration, gathering their ideas and finding their own individuality, which will become the foundation of their collection’s concept. In finding inspiration, campers will learn to create mood and vision boards to help communicate their ideas. There will also be exercises in understanding silhouettes, proportions and different types of fabrics to help campers continue to bring their visions to life.

Once inspiration has been defined, campers will learn proper fashion drawing techniques using croquis and understand different fashion terminology. During this section, campers will produce renderings of their collection. By the end of the week, once conceptualizing and sketching wrap up and designs are approved, campers will make a shopping list to prepare for their shopping on Friday.

Week 2: Once all materials have been acquired, campers will begin to construct their garments. Campers will either learn or have a refresher lesson on how to use a sewing machine. They will also start prepping their pattern and fabric. This course will include exercises on reading patterns, altering them and cutting and sewing fabrics. Once the prepping has been wrapped up, many campers will begin moving at a different pace. But no worries—our counselors will be working with each camper individually to help them while they begin to sew their garments together. The rest of the week is dedicated to sewing garments together.

Week 3: Continues to be all about sewing! Campers will continue their sewing and fittings and make any additional alterations. While working on their garments, campers will begin planning for the big finale, the fashion show, at the end of the week! Friday is all about the final touches, refining their boards, preparing for their fashion show, then it’s showtime. Campers will walk the runway in their designs, showing off their extraordinary accomplishments!

Time travel is on the agenda as we transport to where it all began for the ultimate inspiration. From the flickering pixels of Pac-Man’s ghostly enemies to Pokémon battles, campers will learn the science behind game fun and how to conceptualize and turn their ideas into reality. Combining color and Blockly coding, turbo-powered imaginations and crafting techniques to build worlds of their own imagination, campers will design and craft physical 3D environments for their robots to body proportions color-coding play IRL. It’s not game over in this camp until the last boss is defeated!

Skills Learned:

Daily Overview:

The week begins with campers getting to know one another, learning the basic schedule for each day, discussing safety protocols and proper tool usage, then jumping into our creative activities. Kids will learn about color coding, sequencing and how our robots work on the first day. One of the first activities to kick off the week will be playing actual games and discussing what makes games fun and challenging. Participants will then be given challenges using their robots to play individually and collaborate with their peers, such as creating mazes using coding and designing their own version of the classic Pac-Man game.

Once campers have established a strong foundation of how their robot works and the basics of color coding, they will learn paper and cardboard construction techniques to create 3D environments. They'll also learn how to program maneuvering obstacles with the robots after learning about various construction techniques. Children will learn Blockly coding, which will use tablets to program their robots instead of color coding. Kids will then integrate all their knowledge and develop a new game inspired by the popular Pokémon video games. Participants will draft out their plans and construct a 3D environment that they will then have to code for their robot to explore and interact within. Campers will have physical games to bring home and confidence in their newfound color-coding and Blockly skills. By the end of the week, they'll have experience in basic project planning and execution, improved spatial relations, fine motor skills and an improved understanding of game science. To celebrate everyone's accomplishments, kids will reflect upon their experience, share their creations with their friends and receive a certificate of completion.
