$100 per person per day (ages 8-14)
Three days. Three completely different creative experiences.
Join us for one, two, or all three!
Course Description:
Spend Thanksgiving break making something with your hands.
Mini Makers Thanksgiving Art Camp invites young makers to unplug, get creative, and spend their days exploring art, craft, and the beauty of the fall season.
Each day features a completely different set of projects inspired by gathering, gratitude, nature, and the handmade. Campers will experiment with candle making, collage, fiber arts, plants, mixed media, and more — creating beautiful, functional pieces they’ll be excited to use, display, or give as gifts.
Choose the schedule that works for you: sign up for a single day, pick two favorites, or join us for the full three-day camp.
Our camps are intentionally screen-free, giving kids a chance to step away from devices and spend the day creating, building, experimenting, and connecting with other young makers.

Choose Your Camp Days
Day 1 — Candles & Gratitude
We’re starting camp with a day devoted to making, giving, and gratitude.
Campers will transform mini pumpkins into fall-inspired candles, carving and painting two pumpkins — one to keep and one to give to someone they’re thankful for. They’ll choose their own scents and add dried fruits, herbs, botanicals, and other details to make each candle their own.
Next, they’ll create a Gratitude Jar, decorating it with pressed flowers, tissue paper, collage, and mixed-media materials before filling it with notes celebrating the people, moments, and little things they’re grateful for.
Projects:
Mini Pumpkin Candles — one to keep + one to give
Gratitude Jar
Day 2 — Journals & Totes
A day for collage, personalization, and making things you can actually use.
Campers will create their own Gratitude Journal, layering papers, imagery, textures, and mixed-media materials to design a completely one-of-a-kind cover. They’ll finish it with a personalized charm bookmark.
They’ll also design a mini fall tote bag and make a coordinating bag charm — creating functional artwork they can carry long after camp is over.
Projects:
Gratitude Journal + Charm Bookmark
Mini Fall Tote + Bag Charm
Day 3 — Plants & Weaving
Our final day brings together plants, natural materials, and fiber art.
Campers will create a Pumpkin Succulent Garden, combining mini pumpkins, moss, succulents, and natural materials to make their own living piece of fall art.
They’ll also learn the basics of weaving while creating a Woven Trinket Basket — the perfect little spot for bracelets, charms, jewelry, lip gloss, and all the tiny treasures that somehow need a home.

One Day or All Three
Every camp day is designed to stand completely on its own, so there’s no need to attend previous days.
Come for one day. Pick your favorite two. Or spend all three days making with us.
Whichever they choose, campers will leave with finished projects, new creative skills, and a day spent making instead of scrolling.
