They'll be creating seasonal garments or home decor items like a stylish t-shirt (or two), an elastic band skirt or a pair of shorts or even a cross shoulder bag! All skill levels are welcome.

There will be a supervised breaktime around 2pm. Students are asked to bring their own snacks.

    My daughter Anna has taken many classes over years with you. She was always the youngest in the class but was focused and learned so much. We wanted to tell you that she just found out that she's been accepted into the fashion design program at Ryerson!

    Challenge your kids

    No experience needed

    The teen sewing camp will be a mix of sewing skills; beginners and intermediate/advance. The teacher will give an in-class project that matches each student's sewing skills.

    What kids will learn

    Fashion is more than looking good

    Through fun projects, students will be introduced to concepts like seam allowance, fabric grain, using a paper pattern and seam pressing techniques.

    Learn sustainability

    Do good for the planet

    Kids get a safe and fun environment for them to explore how fashion impacts our world. They’ll see what EcoEquitable does to save fabric from landfills and how they can help too.

    Safety is our priority

    Our staff and classrooms have been restructured to follow the provincial and Ottawa Public Health guidelines.
