Endangered Species
Choose an animal that’s endangered and sew a (customized) Poekie of it. We’ll help you re- search, write and make a beautiful book about it, and then we’ll design and build a cozy habitat for your endangered Poekie; replicating their real-life home. Age 8 and up, you must be on “first shelf” level. Before camp starts, we’ll email a list of animals so you can choose your favorite to make in the camp!
Parents and kids alike love this camp. There’s a sense of camaraderie in the group as we learn about the plight of many different animals and what we can do to save them. We use only high quality materials in this class and create an experience which will have a lasting value.
