Creature Craft Lab

In the spirit of our camp’s name, we’re excited to host this playful crafting session where you can create your very own creature! Browse through a collection of stuffed animals, choose the perfect parts, and reassemble them to bring your one-of-a-kind Frankenstein-style stuffie to life. Children must be supervised, as sharp and hot tools will be in use. Come for the creativity, leave with a creature that’s uniquely yours.
