Youth Quilt Camps
This summer we'll again welcome children ages 7-17 to participate in our annual Quilt Camp for Kids!
There are three skill level camps: Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced where campers will make a quilt project to keep.
Campers choose their own fabrics, learn to use a sewing machine, rotary cutters, how to quilt and how to tie a quilt. Each day campers will receive a snack and explore the Museum galleries and be inspired on their journey as quilt artists.
