Hi everyone,
It feels like only yesterday that the Pop-Up Summer Club for children was running in Hilly Fields, Brockley, and it’s already time for an Autumn Camp. We’ll be running through half term, starting Monday 26th October to Friday 30th.
Last time around, with activities around ‘Cooking, Crafts and Curiosities’, the theme was measurement, and included making sundials, maps, compasses and blackberry tarts. This time, the theme is symbols and languages, with the following activities on the menu:
We’ll be based in that log circle just beyond the hot chocolate from Pistachios in the Park - supportive as ever - with a bespoke shelter currently in production (see bottom pic). There are some nice photos from the Summer Camp on the Curiosity Workshops website, alongside plenty of additional information and a reservation form.
It’s been amazing to have SLMS makers so involved. Beyond the usual invaluable contributions around the space, a handful of Makers are more actively involved with preparations and running activities at the camp. It’s particularly special to have had a couple of Makers’ children participating, and a couple more joining for the Autumn Camp, so I thought I’d share here the 20% Makerspace discount for all ye fob bearers in case any more would like to join.
Thanks to all those who have helped, can’t imagine a better community to be supported by. Friday 30th October is the last day, and if I’m still on my feet, perhaps I’ll see some of you at this well-timed Halloween Makers Meal being organised by @angeleim
