Secret Worlds (K-5th) Half Day

Step into a place where imagination rules and everything is built in miniature! In this reimagined take on Mini World, campers design tiny, magical, and totally original secret worlds — creating a new environment each day. Using colorful materials and inventive building techniques, they explore scale, proportion, and simple engineering while constructing 3D spaces that feel alive with detail.

From indoor hideaways to outdoor dreamlands to worlds that exist only in their imagination, makers turn the classroom into a full creative studio. And if inspiration runs low, the Swap Shop and Idea Station are always there to spark fresh ideas.

Projects include enchanted forests, miniature circus tents, shoebox lockers, tiny furniture and accessories, mini people and pets, plus Secret World search lanterns and treasure maps for discovering hidden details.

Notes Curious Jane does not provide food. Please pack a nut-free, non-perishable lunch and 2–3 snacks each day. Half-day campers only need snacks and do not require a lunch. Each camper receives one camp t-shirt per summer. A second t-shirt can be purchased for $12 and will feature the same design in a different color. This is a great option for campers attending multiple weeks of camp.
