Camp Description

Over the course of this week-long camp, students will be given the opportunity to develop and physically create their own products to sell. Students will begin the week by being introduced to digital design programs such as Procreate for the iPad. Students will then explore options for various products and ways to make their designs physical such as buttons, prints, stickers, and tote bags. After designing and finalizing their products, participants will learn about market research to decide how best to sell their items. The camp will culminate with a pop-up market and celebration with family and friends where students can show off their products and make their first sales!

All are welcome, and there's no experience necessary to join in on the fun! This camp experience will give students the opportunity to learn design and explore entrepreneurship!
