Quote
“Tinker Camp has given my child a unique opportunity to learn, explore, and build in a child-led environment with access to tools, materials and skilled adults who support and honor his process. It is the only environment we have found where my kiddo is given the flexibility and hands-on approach he needs to learn material properties and bring his ideas to life, at his own pace and led by his own passion. I've seen his self-confidence flourish and his planning skills improve as a result.” Parent Kerry L.
