Words from
our Past Campers!
Lucinette AlvaradoRepeat CamperI always love these camps. Is a way to interact and learn new things.
Cydney Imel2024 CamperFun experience. Challenging, inspiring and educational.
I enjoyed the engaging instructors. Sarah was wonderful, bringing us all together and encouraging all to join in the fun. Will do summer camp again. Thanks to Jessie James beads for the wonderful selection of beads and materials. A shout out to my fellow campers, you were also great.
Karen HessRepeat CamperWOW! This was my 3rd Summer Camp and it was the best ever!!! Our Camp Director was amazing and even got our replays loaded on YouTube! Each Counselor/Artist was amazing. We had cabin games which were such fun and gave us a break from the bead mat. I loved the names our cabins were given, mine was #poisonivy. I can’t wait for next summer and my 4th Camp. In the meantime, I’m counting the days until Winter Workshop begins!
Kate Enniss2023 CamperThis is the river rocks bracelet. First time Summer Camper here who had a blast!! There was a cabin party, sleeping under the meteor shower and skinny dipping in the lake! Can’t forget cabin 13 and it’s ghostly antics!
I learned a ton of new techniques from the classes, and the teachers were awesome!!
Jeanette Kenney2022 CamperJo and their classes are an exciting part of planning my day. I love to see the colors and styles in the creators imagination.
