About CY Summer Camp
Our premier summer camp offers hands-on lessons on the principles of sewing like how to use a sewing machine, fabric layout, pinning, and cutting, principles of fashion illustration and fashion design and other fiber arts. Students will progress throughout the week as they move up in skill level based on our unique curriculum. We have developed a proven curriculum that allows children to learn this lifelong skill beginning with the fundamentals and progressing to become true, independent crafters.
Our program aims to also teach children valuable life and developmental skills such as fine motor, problem solving, teamwork, focus and concentration, mindfulness, self-control, self-guidance and patience.
Participants get to choose from over 30 projects during the weeklong session ranging from totes, to pillows, and eventually garments as they progress in our curriculum. First time participants do not sew garments, regardless of experience.
Children enrolled in our summer sessions should display maturity and readiness, especially while working with sharp objects.
Participants should be able to read at a first grade-level. Our curriculum includes written instruction and vocabulary. Please indicate if your child will require individualized support.
Children enrolled must be at least 7 years old by the first day of their session for our 7-9 session and at least 10 years old for the 10-12 session.
