Two and three-day passes will be available starting in the fall of 2024. Sign up for our mailing list to learn when they will go on sale. 

What kind of workshops will you have?

We are building our workshop program now and will announce our crafty line-up once everything is finalized. We are aiming for the beginning of 2025!

Is this an overnight camp?

Camp Craftaway is not an overnight camp. It’s a day camp. If you’re looking for accommodations, you’re in luck: Des Moines isn’t far from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. There are a plethora of hotels close to the airport and near Camp Craftaway.

Workshops

One of our favorite things about Camp Craftaway is the workshops! You’ll get to try a bunch of different crafts over one super-charged weekend.

Here’s what to know about them:

  • Each workshop is two hours long. In that time, you’ll get to try a craft (you may or may not complete it), and come away with the skills needed to pick it up as your newest hobby.

  • Workshops are beginner-friendly.

  • All supplies will be provided to you at your workshop, unless otherwise noted. (This is mostly related to dyeing or mending workshops.)

  • Past workshops include: wood burning; paper marbling; UV resin jewelry; bookmaking; reverse appliqué; cookie decorating; kokedama making; paper quilling; block printing; and much more!

  • Some workshops have supplies fees that are separate from your ticket to Camp Craftaway. We will let you know ahead of time how much those are (if applicable).

  • Workshop sign-ups happen separately from buying your camp ticket. We’ll let you know exactly when that will be.
