Introducing: The Creative Camps Studio!

Big news - dedicated headquarters for camps and classes 🤯

Dear Creative Camps community,

We have exciting news today. It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you - the Creative Camps Studio!

The Building

This 326 square foot gem was originally a detached garage, built in the 1920s and nestled in the beautiful Forest Park neighborhood of downtown Raleigh.

It was later converted by architects from NC State’s Design School into a tiny apartment with a full bathroom and kitchenette.

This month I transformed it into what you see now--a fully equipped “craft shack” classroom, filled with the natural light from 7 windows and 3 skylights.

A Creative Headquarters

With its relaunch as a dedicated studio space, my teaching artist friend Alder and I will be able to host cozy art classes for up to 8 students. Featured on our calendar:

• We have a full slate of summer camps for grades K-12, now open for registration!

• “Adult Nights” - feel free to contact us to request one for your group. Our official launch party for Adult Nights is July 1 and I will send a separate email about that.

As another way to keep up with all our happenings, Creative Camps also has a new Facebook page:

Check out our Instagram for a video tour of the new space (coming Tuesday afternoon):

We hope to welcome your kiddos to one or more of our six summer camps this year!

• Don't forget we have a $25 sibling discount, and will send you $10 back for every new camper who registers and mentions you sent them.

• NB: Camps with more than 8 participants will be held at Edenton Street UMC, less than a mile from the studio.

Let us know in the comments what you think, and what workshops you’d like to see!

Happy Trails,

Megan O’Connor Upchurch («new last name, another joyous update 😊)
