Fashion Dezign 1 (Half-day, 9AM-noon)
AM sessions only June 18-22, June 25-29th, July 9-13, July 16-20
In this one-week program, campers learn how to take a
simple garment from concept to completion, with an
emphasis on design, individual expression and fun.
We’ll touch on fashion history, the life cycle of a garment
and basic art concepts as they relate to apparel design.
Age-appropriate hands-on instruction will be provided in
sketching out a design, measuring, basic garment
construction, hand & machine sewing and embellishing.
Recommended for students entering grades 2-3. Daily Schedule
Fashion Dezign 2 (Full-day, 9AM-4PM)
Offered June 18-22, June 25-29th, July 9-13, July 16-20
Perfect for slightly older budding designers. In this full-day session campers learn
how to take a slightly more complex garment from concept to completion in a
creative, fun-filled setting. Students may work on more advanced sewing techniques and receive additional design challenges to stimulate their creative energies...
Project Runway style! As time permits, we’ll study the work of famous designers
and have fun examining costumes and textiles from around the world.
Recommended for students entering grades 4-5. Daily Schedule
Fashion Dezign 3 (Full-day, 9AM-4PM)
Offered June 18-22, June 25-29th, July 9-13, July 16-20
Targeted towards our middle schoolers, this session is ideal for the more
confident fashionistas who are ready to spread their creative wings and want
to hone their technical and practical skills. This new offering affords older
campers the opportunity to develop their own personal style or vision and learn
how to make their style or vision come alive. Students will have the opportunity
to work more independently and have a greater role in the success of their
creations. Instruction and supervision will be adjusted to the skill level of
each of the students.
For students entering grades 6-8. Daily Schedule
Interior Dezign (Half-day, 1PM-4PM)
Offered June 25-29th, July 9-13
Creativity begins at home in this fun new DezignKidz offering as budding
interior dezigners learn broad level concepts in space planning, scale and
color theory and apply them to designs for their very own bedroom. Campers
will make a floor plan, and learn first hand how form follows function as they
create a coordinated collection of home decor items that’ll be the envy of all
their friends. Sewing and other textile arts techniques will be utilized.
Our newly minted interior “dezigners” are invited to display their new
home decor collection at the camp wide fashion show.
For students entering grades 2-5 Daily Schedule
Accessory Dezign (Half-day, 1AM-4PM)
Offered June 18-22, July 16-20
Every fashionista knows that accessories make the outfit. In this fun session,
campers will learn how to turn their ideas from a sketch into a finished accessory,
as we design and create one-of-a-kind bags, jewelry, scarves, hair ornaments
and more. Kids will absorb valuable lessons in geometry, composition, proportion
and color theory as we explore creative techniques involving sewing,
fabric printing/dyeing and jewelry making and learn how to repurpose unusual materials into stylish new fashion items. A fun class on its own or paired with
our AM Fashion Dezign I or new Interior Dezign offerings.
For students entering grades 2-5 Daily Schedule
