Looking for a fashion-filled, creativity-packed summer experience for your kiddo? You’re in the right place!
🎀 Summer Fashion Camp – Frequently Asked Questions 🎀
Our summer fashion camp in Omaha is the perfect place for kids ages 6–17 to learn sewing, explore design, and have a whole lot of fun. We offer two sessions: a morning session for ages 6–10 and an afternoon session for ages 11–17. Below are some questions we often get from fellow parents—hopefully they help you feel confident and excited about signing up!
👗 Do they need sewing experience?
Nope, not at all! We welcome campers at every skill level. Whether your child has never touched a sewing machine or they’ve already made a few creations, we’ll guide them every step of the way. We use kid-friendly safety features and keep a close eye on them as they work.
🎂 My child has a summer birthday and is between age groups. Which session is best?
Great question! Here’s a quick breakdown:
Morning Session (ages 6–10): Lots of guided, hands-on activities with very little independent work. Think sewing crafts and design projects, beginner-friendly hand and machine skills, and dedicated camp leaders at each table with additional floater leaders throughout the room and at the machines.
Afternoon Session (ages 11–17): A more independent vibe. Campers create full designs from start to finish and work at their own pace. The group includes teens, so conversations might be a little more mature. We still supervise closely, just with a bit more freedom.
If your child is right in between, think about where they’ll be most comfortable socially and creatively!
🧵 Will my child bring home finished projects?
Yes! Every camper leaves with several finished creations that they designed and made themselves. The number and type of projects might vary a little by age group, but everyone will have something awesome to show off.
☀️ Can they attend both sessions?
We totally get the enthusiasm, but campers can only register for one session per week. This helps us keep each age group’s experience just right. That said, your child is welcome to register for each year and we even offer discounts for repeat campers!
🥤 What should they bring to camp?
Just a water bottle and maybe a small snack if they get munchy. We provide everything else—including all sewing materials and supplies. We also recommend comfy clothes… creativity can be wild sometimes! That being said, some of our teens use this week to really express their fashion and we love it!
📸 How will I know what my child is up to during the week?
We’ll send you daily recap emails with highlights and photos when we can. At the end of the week, you’ll be invited to a camper showcase where they can strut their stuff and show off what they’ve made!
👠 How can my child end up on the Omaha Fashion Week runway this fall?
This part is SO cool! Teen campers in the afternoon session are invited to show off their final designs on the OFW runway in the fall. You’ll get an email with a form and deadline—just make sure everything is submitted on time and your camper will be part of the official show lineup!
If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to make this the highlight of your child’s summer!
Can’t wait to see your stylish kiddo at camp! 💕
