After nearly 6 months of strict social distancing and outside contact, my 6.5 year old daughter was thrilled that she was going to do 'something' before the summer disappeared. I couldn't have picked a better COVID-SAFE activity in a big studio with sewing machines and maximum of six children spread apart for a week.
They adhered to every safety precaution and the teacher was beyond responsible and caring. Although, as much as it gave me comfort to see the studio sterile with only 5-6 children, it reminded me of just how many local businesses, that would otherwise be filled with summer campers, have suffered due to the lock down.
When I sent my daughter back in February for a day and a half of winter camp, the studio was at capacity with the level of energy you'd find at a place where kids are excited at drop off and eager to come back the following day.
My daughter got so much out of it. Yes there is sewing, but there's also drawing, designing, learning, listening, critical/spacial thinking, cutting, draping, and imaginative playing and creating. They have games in-between and do challenges with colors and fabric and themes. The kids really have a blast and the teacher is absolutely engaging.
Thank you for going above and beyond with your dedication to reopening.
