Fiber & Arts
Foundation Camp
Fiber & Arts Foundation Camp is an
excellent place to
start and return to year after
year. During the week we introduce
knitting,
weaving, spinning, felting and dyeing. A
highlight
of the week is the day our master
weaving teacher arrives with
table-top looms
all warped and ready for our campers
to
experience the fun part of weaving!
And that’s just the beginning! Campers
learn new
techniques each year such as mosaic
art, kumihimo braiding, punch
needle stitchery,
hand sewing, fabric painting, basket and
bead
weaving, French loop embroidery and working
with clay.
Expect your child to pick up a skill
entertain themselves in the
car on vacation!
Visits to the fiber-producing farm animals,
fiber related
stories, supervised summer fun and
making new friends round out
the week.
We start where the child is at and build
on the skills
developed year after year. Small
groups, our high teacher-camper
ratio, new
projects and lots of individualized
attention
assure a unique and enriching experience
every time.
Fiber & Arts Foundation Camp is
designed
for campers to attend multiple times.
