What just happened? (And what's next)
Summer by the numbers, highlights, and request for feedback 🙏
Hi camp friends,
The dust has settled on the third summer of Creative Camps, and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. I’m grateful for all those who have trusted us with their kiddos and are helping make Creative Camps what it is (more about our values here). You’ve also been telling your friends, which I so appreciate! Here’s a breakdown of our enrollment growth by the year. Keep scrolling for some highlight photos.
Haven’t left your feedback yet?
If your child enjoyed their experience at Creative Camps, a quick Google review means so much for a small business. Leave a Google review
I’ve also put together a 5-minute survey where you can share more specific feedback about your experience. Take the summer camp survey
The survey includes an optional question about joining the Creative Camps Panel. If you’d enjoy occasionally weighing in on ideas for future programs, virtual lessons, or kits, I’d love your perspective. If you didn’t attend camp but would still like to be on the Panel, please contact me (Megan).
We had some other exciting changes this year as well:
We moved into our new studio in southwest Raleigh - with more space, more woods, and more “cozy craft cabin” vibes
We revised our LLC structure and started contracting with fabulous teaching assistants for some extra help
This summer we…papier-mached, wove, embroidered, sculpted with clays and foil, tie-dyed (and Kool Aid dyed), felted wool, poured resin, potato printed, put on two plays, drew, painted, plastered, cut, collaged, beaded, built houses/dragon wings/shields/mazes, and played hard. Did we miss any materials?? What’s next?
Programs throughout the rest of the year are available by request! If you’re interested in bringing Creative Camps to your homeschool group, neighborhood, or family—or you’d like to book an after-school class, teacher workday camp, birthday party, or other program at the studio—just reach out. I have a menu of options or we can collaborate on something custom.
We currently have one fall class on the calendar:
MINI WORLDS • Grades K-5 • Register here
Thank you again for a great summer, and hope to see you again soon!
Sincerely,
Megan O’Connor Upchurch
