This is what kids say about FAD PAD Summer camps...
"Here we go to the best camp of the summer!!"
"Last night she said- I cannot wait to go to Fairy Camp!"
"He got up earlier than usual and said can we go to camp now?"
"He asked us- this camp is all summer, isn't it? I hope!!"
"Our daughter has had an amazing week (best camp of the summer, she says!).
Thank you so much for all the fun, creativity and love. We are so lucky to know you!"

The FAD PAD is my home studio created for Fun, Art and Drama! A designated place for your child to enjoy a wide variety of playshops/classes and camps. From cooking, gardening, drama, fairy lore, cooperative games, hand sewing, embroidery, Harry Potter to science!
The FAD PAD is located in my big back yard where there are many magical areas to explore. From climbing Bob, the loquat tree, to vegetable and herb gardens to the enchanted and forbidden forests to the hammock.
The playshops/classes and camps are for K-6th graders. In order to foster fun and give attention to all children, I take 8 children only. Reservations are required. All art, gardening, and cooking supplies are included in the fees.
