A Magical Kickoff — Week One of Happily Ever Crafter Summer Camp!

Crafters worked on layering colors with paper woven book marks and tassels

The first week of Happily Ever Crafter Summer Camp is in the books — and wow, what a blast it was!

From the moment the doors opened Monday morning, our studio was filled with excited faces, laughter, and a whole lot of creativity.

Each day brought a new hands-on adventure, and our campers dove right in! We kicked things off with colorful name signs to personalize their crafting stations, followed by a whirlwind of imaginative projects like tie dye bags, DIY slime potions, painted garden rocks, and torn paper landscapes. There were paint-covered aprons, glitter trails everywhere (sorry, not sorry!), and proud smiles all around.

One of the biggest hits this week? SLIME! Campers got to mix up their own custom batches of slime, choosing from glitter, clay mix ins, and even color-changing pigments. There was no shortage of laughter as they stretched, squished, and swirled their creations — some even named theirs like beloved pets! It was the ultimate sensory experience and definitely a crowd favorite.

Beyond the crafts, there were new friendships formed, jokes shared over snack breaks, and even a little dancing in between projects. Our camp leaders were blown away by the creativity, confidence, and joy each child brought to the studio.

We can't wait to jump into Week Two, starting July 7th, with fresh themes and even more magical projects! If Week One was any indication, this summer is going to be unforgettable.

Stay tuned for more updates, photos, and sneak peeks — and don’t forget to follow us on social media to see your little crafters in action! 💫🖌️✨
