Summer Craft Camp
Looking for screen-free time that sparks imagination and builds confidence in your kiddos? Or maybe you just need the morning to yourself to unpack from camping or to have a long coffee with yourself.
If this is what you need then why don’t your kiddos join me for some serious hands-on fun at our craft camp - where creativity knows no bounds! Craft Camp is more than glue and glitter - it’s a place where kids build confidence, express themselves, and make new friends while getting their hands delightfully messy (and you don’t have to be the one to clean it up!)
$45 per camper
Why parents love craft camp

Builds real confidence (not just “keeps them busy”)
Your child gets to create something from scratch and feel genuinely proud of what they made.
Encourages creativity, independent thinking
and self trust
Kids are encouraged to explore their own ideas and creativity instead of copying a “right way” to make something. Instead of following strict instructions, kids get to explore their own ideas and learn to trust themselves.
There's no square eyes around here!
The activities are so immersive, kids forget about screens.
The mix of play and structured projects keeps kids engaged longer and more excited than typical programs.
A true screen-free reset
FULLY HANDS ON, START TO FINISH
No worksheets or waiting around … They’re exploring, cutting, building, experimenting, and creating the entire time.

My son and I absolutely loved it - every little detail was so thoughtful and made the experience so special.
A huge thank you to Elise for the most magical kids art camp. She has such a gift for creating an atmosphere where kids feel inspired, seen, and free to create.
Truly a treasure in our community.

Introducing Hip Hooray Studios VERY FIRST after school art program “Paper Playground”
This next program of Paper Playground will run for 4 weeks on Friday afternoons (This program will be a shorter 4 week program as the school term is finishing up for summer)
I have set up the start time intentionally with a gentle entry to make it a smoother transition for those coming straight from school. Studio doors will open at 3:15pm and will have art focussed play and explore stations set up from 3:15 until 4pm. Then from 4:00-5:15pm we will have our set art program. You can come any time from 3:15, But I do request that if you intend to join the program that you are here by 4pm for the actual art lesson. We will have an array of smaller art projects, along with a larger project we will be working on over the duration of 2 weeks (including a very sweet sculptural creation)
My heart for Paper Playground is that it would be a program that nurtures and encourages creativity, exploration, and values the artistic process over the final product. Students will be encouraged to play, experiment, follow their own “flair” and creativity. The focus is on building confidence, curiosity and a love for creating, while developing skills through hands-on experiences with a variety of materials and techniques. This supportive environment allows each student to grow at their own pace and discover their unique artistic voice.

Week 2 Friday 12th June
Week 3 Friday 19th June
Week 4 Friday 26th June
