Fiber Arts (Grades 1-5)
Get ready to experience a universe of colors and textures as we go on a journey through the wonderful world of fiber arts. Yarn, fabric, threads, and fun all spun together make up this camp. After just one week, your child will create marvelous handmade crafts that they’ll be proud to give as gifts, display as forever keepsakes or use in everyday life. From knitting to felting to embroidery to weaving, campers will learn a variety of fiber art techniques to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Campers can come back week after week or year after year to experience new themes, projects and of course continue to build on their fiber arts skills.
