Did you go to summer camp as a kid? Do you have fond memories of learning new skills, roasting marshmallows over a fire, and making new friends? Do you miss it?
As someone who attended Girl Scout camp for as many summers as I can remember, I've been longing for something like it as an adult. While I've come to realize I'm not big on the actual camping part, I've been wanting an event that allows me the freedom to spend time learning new skills and meeting fellow makers. After chatting with my friend Sara Barnes of Brown Paper Bag we both realized we felt the same way. And ever since, we've been brainstorming the perfect craft camp for adults.
We're excited to welcome you to Camp Craftaway!
Get ready to indulge in the nostalgia of summer camp as an adult! Let's take a break to try something new. Join us at Camp Craftaway to spend a weekend with local artists learning new skills and creating with your hands.
You can take part in three days of fun-filled, hands-on crafting. Learn from experts in their field, meet local makers, and leave with lasting memories, craft supplies, and new projects. We even have camp themed activities like an ice cream social and a craft supply exchange planned.
Camp Craftaway will be held at the at Alki Boat House in beautiful West Seattle on August 12-14, 2022.
We'll be sharing instructors, workshops, and more events soon. Sign up for the Camp Craftaway newsletter and be sure to checkout our website for more details.
We can't wait to share scissors and soft serve with you!
