Sports holiday kids' sewing camp in Meilen – Creative sewing holidays for children on Lake Zurich
The sports holiday kids' sewing camp in Meilen offers children the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of sewing during the sports holidays. With lots of fun, patience, and creative support, the children learn how to use a sewing machine, work with patterns, and learn the basics about fabrics and materials.
Perfectly accessible – for families around Lake Zurich
Meilen is ideally located on the right bank of Lake Zurich and is easily accessible from a large region:
- Zurich City
- Feldmeilen, Herrliberg
- Uetikon am See
- Männedorf
- Stäfa, Feldbach
- Oetwil am See
- all the way to Rapperswil
Children from the left bank of Lake Zurich , especially from the Horgen region , can also reach the Kids Sewing Camp quickly and easily by taking the Horgen-Meilen ferry .
In addition, Meilen is excellently connected by train and bus . For families from Zurich, we even offer an optional pick-up service at Zurich main station (meeting point approx. 8:30 a.m., return approx. 5:00 p.m.).
What the children experience at the Kids Sewing Camp
The children choose their personal sewing project from a wide selection of simple and trendy patterns. With the support of the camp leaders, they design their own garments or accessories and experience a sense of creative achievement.
During camp, we ensure a good balance between creative time and relaxation. There are plenty of breaks, communal mealtimes, and – depending on the location – opportunities for indoor and outdoor play.
At the end of the camp week, the children proudly present their creations at a small fashion show – a highlight for all participants.
