This is how grassroots startups are made: Children build a company from the ground up. The day begins with a brand challenge - choosing a company name, designing a logo, vision board or book, and crafting the narrative that makes an idea unique. Once the story is clear, we’ll get into prototyping, using sketching, illustration, and whatever materials are needed to bring concepts to life.
Campers will pitch ideas and financials to a friendly “investor,” receive constructive critiques from peers, and then get back to work refining and building. This iterative process teaches resilience, creativity and basic business skills along with design and craftsmanship.
Returning campers can keep developing the same company across multiple sessions or start a new venture with a fresh concept.
Our hands-on day camp empowers young creators to dream big, think like founders and turn their sketches into something real.
All materials included. Children take home all projects. Children are also welcome to bring in clean thrifted clothes, dad’s old shirt, jeans, t-shirts - or something else they want to remake, instead of making something from scratch.
