NCCE’s Maker Camp returns with two sessions in August 2018! After last summer’s sold-out program, we will be expanding our offering to provide even better experiences for participants. You will spend two days at the beautiful Pack Forest Conference Center in Eatonville, Washington (just 90 minutes from Seattle) working with experienced Maker educators and immersing yourself into fun and exciting activities. Rustic cabin lodging and delicious meals are included in the registration fee. Credit and Clock Hours available.
