Summer Sewing Camps
JULY & AUGUST 2016
SewGreen’s weekly summer camps
bring children and “tweens”
together in a small-group setting that
is diverse, welcoming, and supportive.
Open to beginners and kids who have
sewn with us before, our camps are
suitable for both boys and girls.
All materials are supplied, including a
sewing machine to use at camp. We
encourage individual creativity, and
we have a lot of fun.

camps will be located at St.Paul’s
Methodist Church, at the corner of
Court and Aurora Streets in Ithaca.

“Sew What” Sewing Camp

“Sew Real” Sewing Camp
At SewGreen’s weekly summer sewing camps, campers learn to use a sewing machine, or improve their sewing skills. They make a variety
of projects, including some they design themselves. Creativity is encouraged. The camps have an adult leader, and a number of teen
counselors who are trained in teaching sewing and managing a group. Each day at camp starts with “talk time” and an intriguing or
funny Question of the Day, to help kids get to know each other.
As children advance through a series of projects, both their skills and self-confidence increase. Extra activities include lunch at Cascadilla
Falls, visits to downtown Ithaca fabric stores, knitting, fashion drawing, and draping on half-scale dress forms. All materials are provided, including a sewing machine to use at camp. Our camps are enjoyed by both boys or girls. Everyone succeeds!
