The perfect Spring Break recipe: creativity, craft, and fun!
Step into a world of tiny treats and creative design! In this beginner-friendly Spring Break Camp, students will explore the art of scale, upcycling, and miniature making as they design and build their very own miniature bakery.
Using a traditional room box—a three-dimensional display that captures the interior of a space—campers will construct and decorate a detailed bakery scene complete with floors, walls, furnishings, and architectural details. Throughout the week, students will craft an assortment of delightful miniature sweets, experimenting with a variety of materials and techniques to bring their bakery vision to life.
Perfect for young artists, makers, and future pastry chefs alike, this camp blends creativity, craftsmanship, and a sprinkle of sweetness.
