For campers entering 3rd though 7th grade

If you love arts & crafts and summer is your favorite season, you’ll want to join us for a week of crafts with Lesley from Hammer and Stain North Shore (a local arts & crafts business located in Beverly, MA).  We’ll offer a variety of activities and projects- from signs to photo projects and so much more!  You’ll take home at least 1-2 projects every day, and leave with new skills and great memories.  At the end of the week your child will have a room full of FUNctional art and projects to display proudly! Projects & Designs will not be repeated between the two Hammer and Stain camps, so you can take both if you’d like to double up on the fun!

**Kids will be able to choose their own paint & stain colors for projects as well as color & design choices so they can completely customize their projects to their liking.

This camp is a FunFusion week: FunFusion programs offer the ultimate blend of specialized instruction and classic camp adventures, curated to inspire and engage. Each day, your child will spend three hours immersed in premier programming led by our highly-trained vendor partners, providing exceptional learning and growth opportunities. The remainder of the day is filled with traditional camp activities—thoughtfully designed games, creative arts and crafts, refreshing swim sessions, and team-building experiences—all guided by our dedicated Summer at St. John’s staff. This unique combination of expert-led instruction and timeless camp fun delivers an age-appropriate, well-rounded experience that not only excites but enriches, setting the stage for a memorable, high-quality summer of growth and joy.”
