Nashville Christian School: Perler Bead Camp

This four-day afternoon camp at Nashville Christian School introduces kids to Perler bead art, a satisfying medium where heat-fused beads become wearable accessories. Campers design and create their own necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and keychains — everything goes home with them at the end of the week. It's a great fit for kids in grades 2 through 6 (ages 7–12) who enjoy hands-on making and like having something tangible to show for their work. The projects are approachable for beginners while still leaving room for kids with a creative eye to push their designs further. The camp runs May 26–29 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, making it an easy afternoon add-on if your child already has morning activities that week. At $175 for the four-day session, it's a reasonable price for a focused craft camp. The Sawyer Brown Road location at NCS is convenient for families on the west side of Nashville or coming from Bellevue. Families also explore Nashville Christian School's Jewelry Making Camp and Embroidery Camp for similar hands-on craft options, or Creative Kids Craft Camp if they'd like a broader mix of creative projects.
