Are you ready to sign up for two months of DIY fun? How does DIY Summer Camp work, anyway? Here are the deets!
DIY Summer Camp is on from July 16th - September 9th, 9 weeks of flexing your creativity. During those two months, as a “camper," you'll post a DIY project to your social media using the hashtag #campDIYallthethings once a week. Literally any DIY project. Just make something!
Unlike other DIY challenges, you do not need to be working on remodeling a single space, or complete an entire room during Summer Camp. You certainly can! If you want to use Summer Camp as an excuse to bang out a whole room transformation, AWESOME. But that's not the goal here. DIY Summer Camp is all about just being creative and making things consistently! That could mean you flip a piece of furniture one week, paint a mural the next week, craft some air dry clay earrings, or make some new raised garden beds on a different week… it's all DIY and it's all fair game during Summer Camp!
The real key here is that you nurture your inner artist and allow your curiosity to lead you. The internet and social media can make us feel like we need to "niche down" or focus on one thing and get really good at it. For me, my main audience is DIY Home Renovation, but I know that my creativity wants to spread it's wings a bit, so by letting myself do things that don't fit into the little box of "Home Reno," I'm actually fueling the fire of my
creativity and allowing my brain to explore ideas that I wouldn't have if I stayed in that single niche.
So this summer, DIY Summer Camp is all about loosening up the reins, honoring the tides of your creativity and letting yourself play!
