Together we’ll explore cool things in nature and then, using their imaginations, each child will design their own creations that mimic nature. Individual students will then build a wooden frame and, using wool, make a diorama by creating these inventions in 3-D. This camp is for students in grades 3-5. Half and full scholarships are available by request to any Cook County family upon registration.

Hours: 9am-4pm each day. Tuition: $250.00.
 

Sunshine, camaraderie, projects, and pizza - what could be better? Mark your calendar for Volunteer Weekend 2023. We'll spend Friday, April 21 and Saturday, April 22 sprucing up campus for the summer months. We will have indoor and outdoor projects, so the weekend will proceed rain or shine. The work will wrap up at 4pm each day. Lunch will be provided both days. Celebrate sprucing up campus with a wood-fired pizza bake Saturday evening at 5pm.

North House is pleased to have been featured in an episode of the award-winning PBS series Craft in America.

The episode titled HOME features North House Folk School’s timber framing programs, as well as instructor Biskakone Greg Johnson’s connection with traditional Ojibwe crafts from his home in Lac Du Flambeau. The episode also features other artists whose work explores what HOME can mean.
