Attendance:

 

There is a set fee for each sewing camp regardless of how many days your child attends. I do not prorate cost for days missed. If your child is unable to attend one of the days, the instructor/s may opt to complete the sewing that is done on that day if time permits. If the instructor/s is unable to complete the sewing that is done on the missed day, the unfinished projects will be sent home. 

 

Camp Cancellations:

 

Although I don't foresee any illnesses or weather events, should camp days require cancellation due to instructor illness or weather events ,make up days will be offered. This generally takes place the following Thursday or Friday (weather or illness permitted).

 

Payment:

 

Payment is due when you enroll your child in a camp (or by a specific date specified). Camp fees are not refundable or transferable for cancellations or non-attendance.  

 

What to bring:

 

Each camper will need to bring a small snack and a water bottle to camp each day. No juice/soda only water please.

​

All camps include supplies for projects, sewing machine use and use of all sewing tools.
