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<http://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!
