 Summer's Cool Campaign for Youth Textile Center is bustling with children ranging in age from 6-16 as they diligently work, learn, and create throughout this year's Summer Camp programs. Each year, Textile Center hosts over 130 children in Summer Camps, and we continue to look for ways to expand the programming calendar. With your support, not only will the Summer Camps continue to present a variety of youth engagement in the fiber arts, but so too will our ongoing education classes keep growing and developing. During the summer, Textile Center has set a goal of $12,000 for programmatic needs within our summer camp and educational programs. By going online, you can donate today to the Textile Center to help cover the costs of this wonderful summer program and much more. Please consider a contribution today! |
