A creative, skill-building summer for kids who love to make.

Butcher’s Sew Shop Junior offers thoughtfully designed sewing camps for children ages 6–15 in Philadelphia. Each week blends hands-on learning, creativity, and structure in a calm, small-group studio environment led by experienced instructors.

Camps are beginner-friendly while still engaging for returning students, with age-appropriate instruction and projects kids are proud to take home.

Camp Details

• Monday–Friday | 9:00am–3:00pm
  (except the week of July 4th)

• Location: 800 S. 8th Street

• Multiple age groups may run at the same time, with dedicated instructors and projects tailored to each age group

What Campers Learn

No prior sewing experience is required. Campers will:

All materials are included, except for the 11–15 year old camp, which requires a $40 materials fee (bring on the first day or pre-pay at registration).

Campers should bring a nut-free snack, packed lunch, and a 32 oz water bottle. Weather and city guidelines permitting, lunch is enjoyed outdoors at a nearby park with instructor supervision.
