Summer MakerCamps

Camps at The Little Bits Workshop are a collage of creativity, ingenuity, learning, upcycled projects, outdoor explorations and fun with friends. The underlying theme of each camp is to learn the necessary skills to create useful beauty and to be good stewards of the natural beauty all around us. Check out our CAMP GALLERY HERE.

We are sorry to announce that...

MakerNature Hammock Camp, will no longer be a  partnership between the Forest Preserve of Cook County’s Trailside Museum and The Little Bits Workshop based

in the Thatcher Woods Pavilion.

We are so grateful for the 10-year partnership which we enjoyed with the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. They are no longer able to host our camp in the Thatcher Woods Pavilion nor provide the component of nature programing at Trailside.

We will continue our half day Hammock Camps back at The Little Bits Workshop this summer. Stay tuned... and if any of you have a lead on about 5 wooded acres for sale, let us know!!
