tuesday january 2 - friday january 5
Join us for a four-day maker camp where we will be teaching a range of hands-on skills using a fun mix of materials and processes.
We are only able to offer Full Week registrations for this camp.
Consider giving the gift of an experience this holiday season! We think attending Mindful Makers and developing core maker skills is sure to be a gift that keeps on giving.
Our plans for the week include 2-3 projects per day, adventures to Breithaupt Park and we’ll even have a day of baking goodies in the church kitchen!
Crafts will include a wide range of maker skills and materials including:
paper quilling
light up copper circuits
pom-poms + yarn crafts
nature craft ornaments
painting
soft toys with hand sewing
kumihimo (cord making) + braiding
shaker cards
baking and sugar craft decorations
snow sculptures on break times
