[sustainable_tompkins-l] SewGreen Sewing Camp Discounts and Scholarships

[Wendy Skinner]

SEWING & FASHION CAMPS: SewGreen offers seven weeks of summer sewing and 
fashion camps for young people age 8 to 11, and 11 to 13. Kids learn or review 
how to use a sewing machine, and sew a variety of satisfying projects. Camp 
descriptions can be found at 
www.sewgreen.org/our-classes or at the 
SewGreen store. One week of camp, August 14-18, is full. All the others still 
have openings. Our maximum camp size is 9, and the environment is very warm and 
welcoming. Everyone has fun; everyone succeeds.

DISCOUNTS: Former SewGreen campers or students who have learned to sew at 
SewGreen can get a 20% discount on request.

SCHOLARSHIPS: We offer full and partial scholarships for children from 
lower-income families, foster children, and families living in public or 
subsidized housing. Kids who have learned to sew at the SewGreen/BJM A-Plus 
after-school program get an automatic 50% off the camp fee and can apply for a 
full scholarship.

OPEN TO ALL: We love to share our camp experience with kids from all 
nationalities, religions, ethnicities, gender-identities, multicultural 
backgrounds etc. Our teen camp counselors are a diverse group referred to us 
from the Ithaca Youth Bureau's YES program. The teaching team reflects the wide 
range of diversity among the campers.

BILINGUAL FRIDAYS: We are piloting two "Sewing in Spanish/Costura en Espanol" 
camp days on August 4 and August 18 for campers in any SewGreen camp.

Contact us for more information. Thanks! Gracias!
