Please register for our Kids’ Maker Camp by May 30th!!

Announcing the 2026 CRC Kids' Makers Camp!

Join us in a hands-on camp where your child’s imagination will be in the driver's seat. At the CRC we have an abundance of materials to explore and create with. This year we will be working at the intersection of art and engineering creating murals, sculptures, Rube Goldberg Machines, fidgets and more all out of repurposed materials. Woven in between art creation will be lessons and insights into the importance of recycling and the impact pollution is having on our planet. Through art and engineering we can imagine new possibilities for our future, one where the planet and people live together in creative harmony.
