Event Features

JJB Summer Camp is in it's 6th year! This year our campers will be making 14 pieces of jewelry throughout 9 classes. The event is hosted entirely online! When you sign up you will receive a kit with all beads and supplies needed to create 14 projects - wire and stringing wire is included! Classes are pre-recorded for crystal-clear precision teaching. We broadcast the classes at scheduled times, so that you can chat along with fellow campers and your counselor instructors in the live chat. This event, sign up for texts to be notified at class time!

Our virtual summer camp "campground" is located in the private JJB Summer Camp 2025 Facebook group where campers can participate in fun community events like Cabin Wars and other camp camaraderie.

We'll also be hosting 2 Campfire Kumbaya zooms where campers can hang out with their fellow campers and ask questions to their camp counselors.

Each day of camp will also be accompanied with Morning Announcements with Sarah James. Get ready to stomp and cheer at your computer screen while Sarah leads us in feel-good camp chants and announcements for the day.

What Do I Get?

Each camp kit is filled with all the beads and wire you will need to follow along with classes! Your supplies are bundled up in a Commemorative Summer Camp 2025 Tote Bag. See details of what's inside below!

In addition, you will receive one of four special Night Creature Cabin Charms. The charm you receive is the "cabin" you will be assigned; you and your cabinmates will have the opportunity for friendly competition against the other cabins for the opportunity to win prizes!

As a JJB Summer Camper, you will get private access to all of the video tutorials for the projects, along with entry to our private JJB Summer Camp 2025 Facebook Group.

When + Where?

JJB Summer Camp 2025 takes place online from August 18th - August 22nd. See detailed class times below. All of our classes are pre-recorded and broadcast via private YouTube link where you can tune in with fellow campers to watch together and comment live. Your Camp Counselors (aka, the designers!) will be live chatting with you during the broadcast to answer your questions and join in on the fun!

Campers will also be able to watch classes and replays anywhere, anytime with their special class links.

Do I Need To Bring Anything To Class?

We provide the beads, the wire, the patina paint, the instructions and the FUN! Campers should bring to class their basic beading tools (cutting tool, round nose and chain nose pliers), plus jump rings and crimp tubes.

What is the Value of JJB Summer Camp?

We bring project-based learning to your doorstep! Learn from industry leaders how to seed bead stitch, wire wrap, string, knot and patina.

The cost of enrollment is equivalent to just $22/class! All from the comfort of your own beading mat.

Words from our Past Campers!

Lucinette A.Repeat Camper

I always love these camps. Is a way to interact and learn new things.

Cydney I.2024 Camper

Fun 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 H.Repeat Camper

WOW! 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 E.2023 Camper

This 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 K.2022 Camper

Jo and their classes are an exciting part of planning my day. I love to see the colors and styles in the creators imagination.
