Spring Break Zine Camp with Booklyn

MAKE ZINES DURING SPRING BREAK!
During Zine Camp, your child will learn zine-making as a community-centered practice, one that builds social-emotional learning, and teaches skill development for the creation of self-determined storytelling.
We’ll transform a single piece of paper into a “magic book”, make our own sketchbooks out of recycled household materials, and explore collaborative storytelling techniques to create a class book, which we will edition together so that each child can bring home a copy. We integrate lots of outdoor playtimes throughout the week in the park just outside.

Ages 7 – 10
Monday – Friday, 9-3pm
April 10 – 14, 2023

Register your child using this link. Questions? Email hello@booklyn.org.
