Try It Youth Summer Camp

Service Description

TRY IT Summer Camp (Ages 11–13) August 3–7 | Monday–Friday | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM TRY IT Summer Camp is a hands-on, curiosity-driven experience where middle schoolers explore real-life skills by doing. Throughout the week, campers will try a mix of practical and creative activities like cooking, gardening, beginner tool use, simple DIY projects, sewing, candle-making, jewelry-making, and herbalism—all rooted in skills they can actually use in everyday life. This isn’t about being perfect or already “good” at something. It’s about trying something new, working with your hands, and building confidence along the way. Campers will also engage in somatic movement and journaling to help them slow down, build body awareness, and develop focus in a supportive environment. By the end of the week, they won’t just have a collection of things they made—they’ll have a stronger sense of independence, curiosity, and confidence they can carry into everyday life.
