Is this an overnight camp?
Camp Craftaway is not an overnight camp. It’s a day camp. If you’re looking for accommodations, you’re in luck: Des Moines isn’t far from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. There are a plethora of hotels close to the airport and near Camp Craftaway.
Workshops
One of our favorite things about Camp Craftaway is the workshops! You’ll get to try a bunch of different crafts over one super-charged weekend.
Here’s what to know about them:
- Each workshop is two hours long. In that time, you’ll get to try a craft (you may or may not complete it), and come away with the skills needed to pick it up as your newest hobby.
- Workshops are beginner-friendly.
- All supplies will be provided to you at your workshop, unless otherwise noted. (This is mostly related to dyeing or mending workshops.)
- Past workshops include: wood burning; paper marbling; UV resin jewelry; bookmaking; reverse appliqué; cookie decorating; kokedama making; paper quilling; block printing; and much more!
- Some workshops have supplies fees that are separate from your ticket to Camp Craftaway. We will let you know ahead of time how much those are (if applicable).
- Workshop sign-ups happen separately from buying your camp ticket. We’ll let you know exactly when that will be.
