SUMMER CAMPS
2023
COVID-19 Update: The City of Philadelphia and other bodies continue to update COVID protocols for summer camps based on the state of the pandemic. You can view our Safety Plan below but keep in mind this is an evolving document and may change based on new guidance.
​
​
​
​
Get ready for a summer of stitchin'! Butcher's Sew Shop Junior offers themed summer camps for children ages 6 to 15 in the Philadelphia area. Please find the full schedule for Summer 2022 below.
​
All camps run 9am - 3pm Monday through Friday (except for July 5-8, Tues-Fri).
​
ALL CAMPS ARE HELD AT 800 S. 8th Street. While multiple age groups may coincide at the same location, age groups will be divided with assigned instructors and projects suited to that age group.
Extended Care is available from 8-9am and 3-5pm except for the 11-15 year age group camp.
Extended Care Fees: morning drop off as early as 8am is $10/day; afternoon pickup until 5pm is $20/day. You may add these options to your cart during registration or contact us later when your schedule is finalized.
​
No sewing experience is needed to attend camp. All ages will learn to use a sewing machine, cut fabric, pin and mark, and construct projects from start to finish. We provide all materials, with the exception of the 11-15 year old group which will need to bring $20 their first day. Your child will need to bring a snack, packed lunch and 32 oz of water. Lunch is spent supervised at a nearby park, weather and official city guidelines permitting.
​
If physical distancing requirements are recommended, each camp may be broken up into two smaller groups of students, which will determine pickup/drop-off times, working groups and lunchtime dismissal.
​
If the camp you want is sold out, please add your child's information to the waitlist so you can be notified if a spot opens.
​
Discounts:
10% sibling discount (first child is full price)
10% multi-session discount (first week is full price)
​
Discounts cannot be combined. Please refer to our cancellation policies before registering for a camp. Any questions? Contact us.
​
*5 year olds who were enrolled with us in the 2020/2021 school year may register for summer 2022
