About

Patterns, pins, and endless possibilities! In Fashion & Machine Sewing, young designers develop creativity and build resilience through the natural cycle of trial, error, and improvement while bringing their fashion dreams to life. From PJs to dresses, backpacks to stuffed animals, campers strengthen self-regulation as they focus on detailed machine work and develop responsibility handling equipment with care.

Working side-by-side with our skilled instructors and fellow designers, sewists build collaboration skills while choosing their own creative path. With endless pattern options, every project is as unique as its creator. Whether you’re a beginner or returning creator, there’s always something new to discover—stitch by stitch!

Congressional Camp is the hands-down best day camp in the DC metro area. My children look forward to attending year after year and are always excited to be dropped off every morning.
