10 Apr The Fashion Class Summer Camp

If you’re looking for a summer experience that’s creative, hands-on, and genuinely memorable, our boutique children’s fashion design camp in NYC delivers something special. Now in our 16th year, The Fashion Class Summer Camp has become a go-to destination for young creators ages 6–12 who want more than just arts and crafts—they want to design, sew, and bring real fashion pieces to life.

Each week, campers step into a fully equipped NYC studio and immerse themselves in the world of fashion. From the very first day, they begin learning how to use a sewing machine (with safety-first features like finger guards and speed control), work with patterns, measure and cut fabric, and ultimately create wearable garments and accessories. By the end of the week, every camper leaves with pieces they’re proud to wear—real clothing they designed and made themselves.

But this camp goes far beyond sewing. Our thoughtfully designed curriculum introduces kids to the bigger picture of fashion, including illustration, merchandising, fashion history, and even the basics of entrepreneurship. Every lesson is hands-on, age-appropriate, and designed to keep kids engaged, inspired, and building confidence. Whether your child is brand new to sewing or already loves fashion, they’ll find a place to grow and express themselves creatively.

What sets our camp apart:

• Boutique class sizes: maximum of 12 students with 2 instructors
• Personalized attention for every child
• Experienced teachers with real-world fashion backgrounds
• A supportive, encouraging environment that builds confidence
• Beginner-friendly with a focus on skill-building and creativity
• Safety-first equipment and studio setup

One of the things families love most is the balance between structure and creativity. Campers follow a consistent daily rhythm while still having the freedom to explore their own ideas and designs.

Camp details at a glance:

• Weekly sessions: June 15th – August 28th, 2026

Parents consistently share how impactful this experience is—not just in skills learned, but in confidence gained. Kids love the hands-on nature of the program, the friendships they build, and the pride they feel in creating something from start to finish.

With two convenient Manhattan locations on the Upper East Side and Upper West Side, this camp is designed to be seamless for parents and unforgettable for kids. Spots fill quickly each summer, so early registration is highly recommended.

Give your child a summer experience where creativity meets real-world skills—and where they walk away saying, “I made this myself.”
