CAMP CARPENTER

Camp Carpenter is an outdoor adventure day camp for Neighborhood youth ages 7-14 set in and around Popps Packing’s dynamic buildings, art installations, and green spaces. Camp Carpenter takes place over 2 weeks each summer.  Camp Registration opens in the spring of 2024.

What do kids do at Camp Carpenter? Youth  work alongside local professional artists and builders from the community and learn how to use basic hand tools, to take their designs from idea to reality, to collaborate across age groups, to tell imaginative stories through theater games and role playing and more — all while contributing the betterment of the Detroit/Hamtramck community through the construction of a lasting play space for all.

Cost: $350 for  non-residents. Free for youth living in District 3 Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park.

NOTE: Register for one session only to allow more kids an opportunity to participate.  Space is limited.
