WEEK ONE: HELLO SUMMER   6.17 - 6.21 (Darien Only)

We can’t wait for the long, lazy days of summer – so we’ll have extra time to craft!  Turn on the creative side of your brain and fall in love with crafts that you can make all summer long.  Shibori tie-dying, twisting your own jump-rope, machine stitching a snap case for your pool goggles – and more!  Each day, we will craft at least 2 great projects & have fun this summer.

​

WEEK TWO: S.T.E.A.M.   6.24 - 6.28 

We’ve always known that all great crafters have a little scientist and engineer inside! So, let’s see how beautiful craft projects also teach essential STEAM lessons: A framed picture is great, but what if you lit it up with a circuit you built yourself? What’s more fun than learning chemistry by making soap and lip balm? Now, we’re not promising that your child will always remember “exothermic reactions” but chalk that heats up as it dries IS pretty memorable . . . Ten STEAM projects over 5 days = Smart Fun.  

​

WEEK THREE: BEACH CHIC  7.8 - 7.12

Calling all beach fashionistas: this week is for you!  Weave a gorgeous summer bag, sew your own poolside outfit and create jewelry and accessories that will turn heads on the sand.  Each day you will discover a new craft technique (think sewing, weaving, Jesmonite and more) to put together a perfectly curated beach ensemble.

​

WEEK FOUR: INTERIOR DESIGNERS  7.15 - 7.19

Revamp your whole room with Make-Modern! You’ll start by choosing a color palette and creating a mood board, of course. Then learn about shape, textile, light and space. Ten super projects for your bed, walls, desk, and even your door: Will you make your own real light fixture? Of course. Soft & fluffy pillow? Yup. Custom frame for photo of bestie? We’ve got you.

​

WEEK FIVE: PUCCI TO GUCCI : ITALIAN FASHION WEEK  7.22 - 7.26

Join us on Via Del Corso, Roma to “ooooooooo” and “aaaaahhhh” – and make projects with classic Italian style. We’ll invoke Emilio Pucci,  Missoni, Murano glass, to - you guessed it - Gucci! (Make an iconic bag, perhaps?) Campers will learn to sew their own garments, design runway-ready accessories, and create decor paying homage to the greats.

​

WEEK SIX : SUMMER OLYMPICS:  PARIS 7.29 - 8.2

Your child will spend an exciting week learning about the Olympics just in time for  the Opening Ceremonies! We’ll discover Olympic history, the iconic logo, unique countries and, of course, the city of Paris. Girls AND BOYS will make 10 great projects using all our favorite Make-Modern techniques including sewing, metalwork, paint, resin and fiber.

​

WEEK SEVEN: MOMA MODERN ARTISTS  8.5 - 8.9

We’ve thought pretty hard about the 10 modern artists that your kiddo should know - and will love! Polka dot with Lichtenstein and Kusama, design a framed portrait of yourself a la Paul Klee, collage crazy stuff inspired by Salvador Dali! Each day, you’ll learn a little about the life + influence of two artists and make great projects to apply what you’ve learned. 

​

WEEK EIGHT: PROJECT RUNWAY 8.12 - 8.16

“Make it work!” with Make-Modern! In just one week we will create more than a dozen amazing accessories, garments and jewelry pieces for your strut down the runway. Create a ‘glitter-dipped’ bag, sew your own pair of shorts, and design stunning pressed flower jewelry! And of course we will celebrate with a fashion show…

​

WEEK NINE: PJ PARTY 8.19 - 8.23

We’re staying up all week! Wear PJ’s to camp each day and craft the coziest (coolest) stuff for slumber parties with your bestie – and your grandma. Design a sleepover bag to hold your new toiletry bag, concoct real handmade sprinkle lip balm, and machine sew Real. Custom. Pajamas!
