Summer Camps 2024
Summer camp at And Sew We Grow is a 5-day immersive experience focused on sewing and creating wonderful things with fabric and thread in my comfortable home in Oakland, California. This is a small gathering of attendants so that deep and meaningful connections can be made.
Each camp has a theme and specific planned projects. All materials and supplies are included in the cost of camp. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Friday. A waiver must be signed before camp begins. Each camper brings their own lunch and water bottle.
