The weeklong camp sessions begin June 25 through August 10.
Each day of camp will kick off a different theme and will bring a wide array of tips, education and fun for campers. The themes include:
Day One-Model Behavior: Campers will create a fashion magazine portfolio, learn how to wear age appropriate make-up, walk the walk as they practice the dos and don’ts of modeling, and also learn about nutrition, personal hygiene, fitness and exercise. Camper attire: comfortable/athletic.

Day Four-Enchanted Etiquette: Campers will learn the basics of how to plan and throw the perfect party. After a multi-course lunch at Carino’s Italian restaurant and a lesson in dining etiquette, campers will learn what it takes to be a host; from menu planning, and thank you cards, to hostess gifts, they will partake in the popular Fashion Camp tea party. Camper attire: party dress.
