Sew and Bake Camp - All Day - 10 years old through high school |
|
| Cost | Total: camp with kit fee $365.00 (includes $45 kit fee) |
| Available Dates | August 8 -12 |
| Time | 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM |
| Notes | This new camp is "hands-on" success! It is full of fun projects to do in sewing and baking. The campers who come will be engaged in sewing projects which they can then use in and around the kitchen. The projects include an apron, a market bag, placemat and napkin, and a hot pad. The baking projects will be quick and yeast breads, with a special dessert included. The campers will bring several yards of fabric in their choice of colors. I will provide all the baking supplies as a kit fee, which will include all baking foodstuffs, measuring spoons, measuring cups, scrapers, dough stirrers and other tools. Each child will work in a team or individually, depending on the project. Throughout the camp, whether in sewing or in baking, correct technique and safety will be stressed. Campers will bring a lunch to eat, and a snack will be provided in the morning, and we will “taste test” any of our baking “creations” in the afternoon. Campers should also bring favorite book or “break time” activity. Camp size limit is 4 campers. |
