Camp SCRAP: Mend to Extend

Join us for some summer crafting on Aug 12th, 13th and 14th! (Single day tickets available July 21st!)

Camp SCRAP is an arts day camp focused on creative reuse, upcycling and making resourcefully. This camp is for youth (ages 11 - 17) who LOVE art-making, inventing, crafts, and bringing their creative ideas to life!

This 3-day camp will be dedicated to the practices of mending, upcycling, and sewing from scratch, not only to extend the life of our wearable resources and keep textiles out of the landfill, but also to explore our fashion creativity and personal style! Each day, participants will learn a new mending or sewing technique, and then work on a hand-made zine centered around a related topic of their choice, ranging from the fast fashion industry to beauty standards to textile reuse ideas.

This camp is for young people who care about the environment, who want to expand their sewing skills, and who find comfort in a crafty community!

SCRAP asks that campers come prepared with a lunch and water bottle, closed-toe shoes, a respectful attitude, and be ready to have fun!

We offer scholarship opportunities! Scholarships are awarded based on need and availability. Review all the details below and reach out if you have any questions!
