One woman’s trash is another gal’s treasures! Read more about this AMAZING annual event under ‘what to bring’!

Bottom line, start collecting all UFO’s and no longer loved craft supplies as well a gently used household items…. because we make money for the camp all of it!

Our T-shirts and camp merch is specifically designed with your talents in mind. Join us to paint, embellish or bedazzle your camp wear. Bring $3 for paints and any trinkets you want to use on your project.

We’ve set aside some tables with two theme! Hang out or just walk by and place a piece or two. It’s another opportunity to relax and meet fellow puzzlers

Whether it’s hand work, embroidery or crochet bring your projects and your questions. Here’s another opportunity to sit and chat and share talents.

For those who just want to use the weekend to machine sew until you drop, we’ve got tables set aside with plenty of electricity to keep you going through the night. Bring your tools, lighting, cutters and projects.

This year we’re saving the best for last: the last night that is! Sunday night we’ll all Show and Share your projects or Talents. Whether it’s something you worked on all year, or made at camp we want to see it! Got a song or talent you want to share instead - yes please!

Left, Right, Center is a popular game night staple at camp. Want to play? Just bring three WOF (width of fabric) strips of fabric for each game or $3 as your ‘buy in’. Who knows! You could be going home with some fun strips of fabric for your next project.

As if eight delicious meals aren’t quite enough we thought we should have MORE FOOD….. err we mean MORE FUEL! Bring your favorite work snacks to share -whether home baked or in a bag we love it all. After all, a gal can’t work on three squares alone. She needs chips and chocolate and popcorn flavored like cheese!

And speaking of food….

You bring the warm clothes, we’ll bring the s’more fixings and the fire.

Doesn’t get much sweeter than that!

4-H Staffers are always willing to put together a Hay Ride or two. There are walks and tours of the Allerton grounds available along with other activities that unfold each year.

This year we will be collecting a variety of hand crafted items to be given out at Christmas to care-givers through Piatt County Family Services. We will also be collecting personal hygiene items and cleaning products for this worthy cause.

Lap blankets, ditty bags, knitted gloves and scarves, whatever makes your heart happy to donate. We’ll have a representative of this great cause at camp to collect our much needed and much appreciated donations.

This year at camp we will also be making new curtains for the camper cabins. With our collected funds we’ll purchase the fabric needed, create a template and then set up machines for anyone to sit and sew some straight lines/make curtains.

First time using a machine? What a great way to learn. Feel like a break from your project or have some down time in between classes, sit for a spell and sew some a curtain or two! By the end of camp our goal is that all 30+ cabins will have new curtains. All the same kind, created with the same fabric at the same time.
