Fashion Camp for Kids and Teens
House of Dezign Kids’ and Teen Fashion Camps are offered Monday through Friday for children ages 6 to 12 and 13 to 17, beginning July 12 and ending August 27. Your young child or teen may enroll in a full-day 9 AM to 3 PM program. Children ages 6 to 12 also may opt for the half-day 9 AM to noon program.
Designed to unlock and inspire the creativity of young minds, your child or teen will learn to:

- Design mood boards
- Create a fashion collection
- Upcycle garments with fresh ideas that reflect current fashion trends and transform them into appealing, useable pieces
The 7-week program also offers kids background on the rich and exciting history of fashion, including videos on well-known fashion designers from the houses of Chanel, Dior, Gucci, and Lauren, to name a few.
