Looking for a fun, creative, and hands-on way to keep your child engaged over April school vacation? Look no further than Makers Mill’s April Vacation Arts & Crafts Camp! Running Monday, April 28 through Friday, May 2, this five-day program is specially designed for youth ages 8–11 and features a variety of arts-based workshops that are as enriching as they are exciting.
Each day brings a new creative focus—from painting and fiber arts to woodworking and mixed media—giving young makers the chance to explore different mediums, learn new skills, and express themselves through art. Campers can attend one day or all five, but space is limited to just 8 students per session, so pre-registration is required.
