The information below was from our 2017 Winter Camp.
Join us in the new year for a week-long maker camp where we will teaching a range of hands-on skills using a fun mix of materials and processes.
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.
We recently stopped by the Rogers Daytime studio to talk about our upcoming plans for Winter Camp. Click the photo below to watch the interview!
