Each morning, they'll dive into the world of sewing, learning to create their own amazing projects while building confidence and creativity. With plenty of breaks for snacks and lunch, they'll stay energized and ready for the afternoon’s exciting activities!

In the afternoons, we’ll explore textile arts and crafts that tie into the weekly theme—whether it's tie-dye, fabric painting, block printing and more. Plus, we’ll be heading to the park and splash pad for some outdoor adventures and fun in the sun. It’s the perfect mix of creativity, play, and learning, and your child will leave with new skills, new friends, and a ton of amazing handmade projects to show off!
