Fashion + Sewing Summer Camp Full Day - 2020 - Bryant Park

We are planning on re-opening for camp this August. Please see below for information on our response to COVID-19 and the steps we will take to ensure a safe re-opening!

Our summer camp combines the best parts of fashion and design for ages 6-12 years old. Limited to only 12 campers, our one-of-a-kind "boutique" camp teaches students how to sew, design and style their own garments in one (or more) weeks this summer.

Each day breaks down into five classes with experienced instructors (and our CPR & First Aid certified TFC staffers) who work in the fashion industry. Small class sizes allow each camper to get the attention and tools they need to design and create.

We’ll start the morning off with fashion illustration and then have a special activity (for example learn interactive fashion history, or do science experiments with textiles).

After lunch we learn how to create our own fashion brands by designing logos and products or create an accessory. Finally it's time to sew in our large fully equipped sewing studio where we make real, wearable garments (campers will sew three items in one week).

Designed as a 2-week experience, campers can register for 1+ weeks (after two weeks some lessons may repeat). All supplies (except lunch and snack) are included.
