Try All the Crafts and Meet Your Community When You Come to Camp Craftaway This Summer

My favorite part of the year hap­pens every sum­mer. Specif­i­cal­ly, when Camp Craft­away is hap­pen­ing! What is that, you ask? Well, it’s a day camp for crafty adults cre­at­ed and run by me and Melis­sa of MCre­ativeJ. It’s a super-charged week­end of cre­ativ­i­ty and com­mu­ni­ty, cen­tered around a vari­ety of craft work­shops. Because what’s bet­ter than craft­ing and hav­ing fun with peo­ple who just get it?

Camp Craft­away is hap­pen­ing Fri­day, August 1 to Sun­day, August 3, 2025 at the Beach Park Event Cen­ter in Des Moines, WA (just south of Seat­tle!). The fes­tiv­i­ties kick off on Fri­day after­noon and end on Sun­day after­noon. (There is no lodg­ing on-site.)

You’ll get to choose from over 25 craft work­shops. This year, we’ve got a vari­ety of things to try: stained glass, broom mak­ing, indi­go dye, block print­ing, cook­ie dec­o­rat­ing, and much more. Each work­shop is two hours long and begin­ner-friend­ly. Dur­ing that time, you’ll start the craft (you may not fin­ish it) and leave with the skills you need to con­tin­ue the craft when you’re home. Basi­cal­ly, you’ll come away from the week­end with a bunch of new hob­bies and new friends!
