Village Maker's Camp

The Village Maker’s Camp is held in the summer. Children ages 4-12 are placed into groups by age and attend workshops run by adults who teach them a skill and then guide them in using their creativity to create something new using that skill. On the final day of Maker’s Camp, The Village hosts an Art Night inviting family and friends to a showcase of the campers’ creations.

Purpose: At the Village, we believe that God is the ultimate Maker. He created us to be creative beings and our goal for the camp is the help young children discover ways that they can express their creativity beyond their days at camp. While we may discuss biblical concepts of God as a creator during the welcome gathering, the camp is centered around creativity and expression. It is not vacation bible school.

We provide this camp at a low-cost thanks to the help of our many volunteers and because it aligns with The Village’s core values of Accessibility, Community, and Creativity.

What to Expect: Maker’s Camp takes place between 8:30am and 12pm Tuesday – Friday, June 3-6, 2025. Each day, campers will attend a welcome gathering and then split into groups based on their age. Groups will rotate to different creative workshops throughout the morning. Workshops are led by adults and age groups are guided by adult leaders and adult or teenage helpers. Snacks are provided and are gluten-free.

Pick-up is promptly at 12:00pm each day and out of respect for the Maker’s Camp teachers, volunteers, and staff, parents are asked not to stay in the building so that we can prepare for the next day.

Family and friends are invited to come and view the creations that campers have worked on throughout the three-day camp. Folders and artwork are sent home with each camper. Light snacks are provided.
