Step into a world of imagination, creativity, and stitches! In this camp, fairy tailors will begin the week by creating their very own magical pouch—a special place to collect treasures, notes, and fairy-sized surprises as the week unfolds.

Each day blends storytelling, design, and practical sewing techniques, emphasizing lifelong art skills and creative problem-solving.
