Fabulous Fairytales Summer Camp at Storycraft Studio, Rüschlikon

Running all five weeks of the Zürich summer holidays (13th July – 14th August), this immersive art camp takes children aged 5–10 into a world of enchanted forests, magical kingdoms, dragons, and spells. Each day combines step-by-step guided projects with space for children to make their own creative choices — so every child leaves with something they're truly proud of.

Spots fill up each season. Early booking is strongly recommended.

What Children Create

Enchanted Forest (Monday – Wednesday)

Children spend the first three days creating a collection of forest-themed artworks and sculptures:

Woodland Cottage Diorama — a detailed 3D scene with trees, flowers, and storytelling characters
Magical Character Portraits — bold, long-legged witches, wizards, fairies, or original creations
Clay Dwarves — hand-sculpted characters, each with their own distinct personality
Story Stones — painted stones featuring symbols and characters for imaginative play
Fairytale Potion Bottles — shimmering potions filled with coloured liquids, glitter, and tiny treasures

Magical Kingdoms (Thursday – Friday)

The week finishes with bigger, bolder builds:

Design Your Own Magical Creature — dragon, unicorn, or something entirely new, built from recycled materials and papier-mâché with wings, scales, and splatter paint
Build Your Own Fairytale Castle — constructed from mixed materials, with flags, vines, windows, and a moat
Dragon or Unicorn T-Shirt — a wearable artwork printed using bubble wrap and sponge techniques

Materials and Techniques

Children work with acrylic and gouache paint, clay, papier-mâché, cardboard, fabric, foil, glitter, sequins, and mixed media. Every day balances guided instruction with personalisation.

Story Time and Activities

Story sessions draw on classics like Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel alongside modern favourites. Between projects, children enjoy themed games, music, mini-films, and outdoor time by the lake.

Joining Multiple Weeks

Children are welcome to return for more than one week. Core project types repeat, but each child builds on different characters, colours, and ideas — so every week produces completely new work.
