4th of July Retreat x Craft society
A long, golden weekend at Camp Singers, July 3rd–6th, unfolds like a gentle rhythm of craft, nature, and celebration. Guests arrive Friday afternoon to settle in, meet one another, and ease into camp life with a playful kite-making workshop before dinner, followed by a cozy bonfire under the stars. Saturday drifts between hands-on craft sessions—basket weaving, bundle dyeing—and slow, sun-soaked moments spent swimming, hiking, or unwinding in the sauna, all building toward a festive July 4th BBQ, sparklers, and another night by the fire. By Sunday, the pace softens into a shared brunch, a final craft of corn dollies and wheat weaving, and a warm closing circle—sending everyone off feeling a little more grounded, a little more inspired, and already nostalgic for camp.
What to Expect
Open Weave Basket Workshop – A slow, meditative session exploring traditional basketry techniques, creating airy, sculptural forms with an emphasis on rhythm and texture.
Bundle Dyeing / Indigo Dye Bath – An expressive, color-driven workshop where guests can either wrap and dye fabrics using natural materials or dip into a rich communal indigo bath for bold, organic patterns.
Corn Dollies & Wheat Weaving – A simple, nostalgic morning craft using natural fibers to create small woven forms—easy, tactile, and perfect to take home.
Freashly Made meals
Breakfast, lunch dinner throughtout the weekend. Ranging from pizza, snadwiches, and a farm to table dinner on the second night.
Yoga
Morning Yoga Sessions
Mini Japanese Kite-Making – A light, playful introduction to kite-making, where guests design and assemble their own delicate kites to dry overnight—ready to fly the following day.

The location
Camp Singers is designed as a place to gather, with warm, communal spaces that invite connection and ease. The wood-paneled dining room, with its pitched ceilings and cabin-like feel, overlooks the surrounding woods, while a stocked country kitchen opens into a fireside lounge—perfect for slow mornings, long conversations, or curling up with a book. The main gathering space is expansive and lively, centered around a long communal table for shared meals and games, with an electric organ for sing-alongs and a separate seating area to unwind.
Set across 88 acres of open pastures, forested trails, and a winding creek, the property encourages both exploration and stillness. Guests can relax in a cedar hot tub tucked inside a restored maple syrup hut, take a dip in the spring-fed pond, or paddle out by rowboat or canoe. A fully stocked arts and crafts barn offers space for creativity and quiet making, while a wood-fired sauna by the pond provides a place to reset. In the summer months, guests also have access to the Camp Singers Pool Club, a private off-site oasis just 10 minutes away.
