Summer Camp: DIY Adventurers (Ages 8-11)

Our DIY Adventurers day camp at Fisk Avenue is crafted for older kids ages 8–11 who are ready to take on more involved, skill-building projects with tools. Throughout the week, campers will design their own splatter t-shirts, experiment with fluid art on canvas, craft a custom cribbage board, create a colorful epoxy suncatcher, and tackle string art. Led by art professional Madilyn Duffy, this camp empowers young creators to explore new techniques, develop fine motor skills, and express their unique ideas. Each session is packed with hands-on learning and creative problem-solving, all in the inspiring setting of our historic downtown Waukesha studio.
