Program Description
Event Details
In this 3-day mini camp, students will get a hands-on introduction to letterboxing. Letterboxing combines hand carved stamps with scavenger hunts in parks, forests and urban environments. During this 3-day camp, we will design and carve stamps celebrating our favorite books, hide them on the library grounds and write clues to their hiding spots. On our last day, we will follow clues to find our hides and use an ink pad to stamp them into our logbooks. The stamp you carve and hide will stay at the library through September 30 and the clues we write will be shared on letterboxing websites under trailnames for others to find. Your logbook will go home with you to continue you on your letterboxing journey.
Day 1: Introduction to Letterboxing
Day 2: Creating Our Hides
Day 3: Creating Logbook and Treasure Hunt
This class will take place in both the MakerLab and library grounds. For students in grades 4-7 in Fall 2026.
