Teens’ Sewing Camp - Age 12-17


  • Tuxedo Park Community Association 202 29 Avenue Northeast Calgary, AB, T2E 2C1 Canada (map)

TEEN CAMP - Age 12-17

TEEN camp is for those who either:

• Joined us for sewing camp in 2024 (and are at least 12 years old this summer)

• Are 14+ with no sewing experience

• Have sewing experience beyond the “beginner” level and want to advance

• Have sewed with Calgary Sewing School before

What’s the difference?

  • Older kids

  • Shorter days and later start (teens love to sleep in!)

  • Smaller class size

  • More variety of project choices

  • More focus on machine sewing

Camp runs 10am to 3pm for the 3 days. 

Camp curriculum is created and delivered by a CERTIFICATED PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER, so you can rest assured that your child will be safe, cared for, and engaged all week. 


Price: $350/teen

***Materials are not included for Teen Camp, as everyone will be making something different*** 

Project choices will be discussed before camp, and fabric shopping lists will be sent to families well in advance.

Tools & Equipment: Tools like seam rippers, tape measures, scissors, rulers and irons will all be available for your teen to use at camp. If they have a sewing kit, they can bring it along if they like.

Sewing Machines: If you have a sewing machine at home, it is recommended that your teen brings it so that they can learn and get comfortable on the one they will continue to use. Student sewing machines can be kept securely at the venue in a locked room for the duration of the week.

Please make sure your machine is in good working order before class begins.
Not sure? You can book a Machine Diagnostic with Catherine - email hello@calgarysewingschool.com for more info.
