How does camp work?
65 kids, 11 grown-ups, building, experimenting, hanging out, messing around, and playing together, with board games, foam swords, sewing machines, soldering irons, hot glue and screwdrivers and saws and drills. We offer a wide variety of fun projects and activities, but let the kids figure out what they want to do and mostly do it. It’s noisy and chaotic and playful, sometimes focused, sometimes frenetic, but it’s always interesting.
How the Day WorksEach day we offer a range of workshops and activities — computer programming, bookmaking, board game design, intro woodworking, igloo-making, and so on and so forth! We also offer plenty of time for kids to work on their own stuff, with staff available for one-on-one help on projects of various kinds.
