Camp Make-A-Mini 2026
This August, Create is heading for an Adventure in the Conservatory!
Join us this August for Camp Make-A-Mini as we enjoy a cold glass of ice tea in the Conservatory. This year we are hosting a "Writers’ Retreat". Create a story with our theme “What Happened In the Conservatory?” Set in Alician Pearce’s Workshop in all three scales, Create is offering you an opportunity in Create-ive Writing ... in Miniature, of course! Check out all the information here.
Camp Make-A-Mini kicks off on Sunday, August 23, and runs through Saturday, August 30, wrapping up with a cozy closing campfire.
Throughout the week, we'll have puzzles, games, tutorials, and chances to win some amazing prizes!
Don't miss out — come build, play, and adventure with us on this unforgettable adventure in the conservatory!
June 2026
June’s challenge is rolling in hot and delicious! 🌭🍦🍕This month, we want to see your miniature food trucks and concession stands in action. From taco trailers and pie wagons to popcorn carts, lemonade stands, and carnival treats, show us where your tiny peeps are grabbing a bite to eat. Are they gathered at a county fair, parked at the beach, strolling through a summer festival, or lined up on a bustling city street? We can’t wait to see the tasty little worlds you create for June!
Send your photos along with a brief description to Preble McDaniel at smallpackages@comcast.net, and we will post them HERE. Be sure to include your mailing address. If you send in a picture, please allow us a few days to get it added to the challenge page!
Here is our monthly sample from Debbie Colombo. She made this farmstand mobile pie truck from a kit by True2Scale.
We also have some workshops coming up. For these and other Create-ive Offerings click here.
For information on all Create Shares, look here. We have this one scheduled soon.
Have you missed one of our wonderful Create Shares? They are all available to be watched here on our Videos page.
Have you had a chance to look at the NAME store recently? Souvenirs are available to purchase from the latest Convention. As well as many of our past t-shirts.
If you haven’t dropped in to one of the live zoom sessions you have no idea how much fun you can have playing minis in the comfort of your own home with online friends.
Check the calendar for times and links.
