Friday, May 16th
Saturday, May 17th
This is an opportunity to bring your spinning to the next level! This is not a learn to spin event. Most instruction will be directed to wheel spinning, so to get the most out of this retreat, it is best to be comfortable making yarn and plying on a wheel. If you are a spindle spinner, you should be confident adapting wheel techniques to your spindle spinning.
Reservations begin at 10am Central time Saturday November 16th
We will be sending payment reminders via email.
Spin Camp scholarships are available. We know that the registration price of camp is not economically possible for everyone. We have worked hard to find ways to offer more options for attendance. We are proud to offer several full and partial scholarships in 2025 for people who might not otherwise be able to join. We especially welcome applications from people who are often underrepresented in the fiber community. Your scholarship status will be private.

Lauren is guiding us through the final day of camp. Her focus is on reverence for the community we create and the craft we engage in.
