Craft camp runs from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and Sewing from 1 pm to 4 pm. The lunch
period would be 12:30 to 1 pm. The crafts and sewing are geared to students aged 10 to
16.

Summer Sewing Intensive Camp:
Date: Monday July 6 to Friday July 10 OR Monday July 20 to Friday July 24
Time: 1 to 4 pm each day (this means 15 hours of sewing time for the week)
Cost: $260 for the week


Please Note: The Fabrics, threads and notions are to be supplied by the student.
Students can take both weeks of camp if desired as the projects will be different
and we will progress students from beginners to intermediate or intermediate to
intermediate challenges.


Intermediate students must have taken sewing on a machine class prior to the start
of camp.


Please indicate your preferred week, beginner or intermediate and if the student is
doing a full day to include crafts in the morning or just the sewing camp in your

Craft Camp 2026
There is the option for ½ day camp from 9:30 to 12:30 or the option to add on the
sewing camp for those who wish to stay all day. Lunch will be supervised but not
provided!


Craft camp provides the opportunity for students to try a number of different
crafts from beading, weaving, quilling, loom knitting, and so much more. We
supply the equipment and the supplies and they bring the enthusiasm to learn and
try new things that they would not normally have the chance to explore. The
classes are geared to ages 10 to 16. Students should wear clothes that could be in
contact with paint and other materials.

Cost: $280.00 for the week

Markham Guild of Village Crafts Land Acknowledgment:

We acknowledge with respect the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples and their commitment to stewardship of the land. We acknowledge the Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabeg, Seneca, Chippewa, and the Mississaugas of the Credit peoples. Their histories, languages, cultures, and crafts continue to enrich our shared community today and into the future. We are grateful to craft upon this land. We remind ourselves to craft mindfully, using sustainable and local materials when possible. May we all live with respect on this land, and live in peace and friendship with all its diverse peoples.
