We hold get away Craft Camps at least twice each year for our regular customers. Our camps are always held in the school holidays, usually over the middle weekend (April & September/October) and whilst we used to hold much larger camps, they are now kept fairly small (10-12 campers usually) which allows a full table per person - so maximum crafting space. We currently run 3 themes in rotation - Harry Potter/Hogwarts, Mad Hatter/Alice in Wonderland & Disney, meaning each theme repeats roughly every 18 months.
If the demand is there, we will also hold a smaller (non themed) camp in January. Our camps are very casual and laid back, often with a variety of crafts going on (scrapbooking, cardmaking, crochet, sewing, painting etc). To help keep costs down, we use a local Scout Camp and ask participants to share in meal prep, dishes and pack up at the end.
Craft Camps run from 3pm on the Thursday through to 3pm on the Sunday and cost is just $280 per person. This price includes accommodation, lunch, dinner and pudding Fri & Sat, a 'leftovers' lunch Sunday and tea and coffee. There's just about always baking available on the sharing table too.
We have a good range of supplies available for purchase on site, but you are free to bring whatever supplies you already have. We always have a game or 3 of Bingo with prizes for the first 'Line' and 'Bingo' itself. Loads of fun, lots of laughs and nothing too serious.
Our camps are run via invitation, using a priority waiting list, which is set up based on the number of camps attended and the most recent camp attended. Prior to each camp we start at the top of the list and send out invites until we reach our maximum number of participants for that particular camp, or until the list is exhausted. We have reached the bottom of the list a few times recently and have had 3 first time campers join us in the past year alone, so you just never know your luck.
