My 11 year old daughter and her cousin LOVED this camp. Myles and the team kept the camp engaging for them while they learned several new skills. They both came home with new crafts from the tools that they trained on. I only wish there was a camp like this when I was a kid!

We loved having your child with us for the week. Watching the kids figure out something for the first time never gets old, and the things they design are always so impressive. We hope to see you in another camp or workshop. It is our goal to MAKE summer fun!
Questions & Answers
How will Covid concerns be handled? Will there be social distancing in the form of reduced classes and mandatory masks?

We are following all of the County guidelines to keep everyone as safe as possible. We will be enforcing social distancing, as well as requiring masks at all times indoors. We've set up additional work space dedicated to students to give them more room to socially distance. We've limited camp enrollments as well, and will only be offering a single camp each week (typically we have 2-3 camps in various subjects running concurrently). The health and safety of our students and staff is our #1 concern, and we especially want to make sure students have a safe experience here. -

Thank you for your interest,We are working hard on getting the classes online. We have a schedule, but still need to finalize the write ups and photos. Target is to have all set by end of this coming week: There will be a mix of camps from Textiles, robotics, electronics, woodworking and laser/3d printing for a variety of ages. The week of July 4th will be day camps with a different theme each day - those are posted for sign ups already. -
