What if you could improve your balance, mobility, flexibility, and overall well-being—without an intense workout?

Discover the power of Taiji (Tai Chi) with our upcoming Extended Education course, Discovering the Health and Balance Benefits of Taiji! 🧘‍♀️✨

Often called “meditation in motion,” Taiji combines slow, flowing movements with mindful breathing to help you build strength and stability while creating a greater sense of calm and relaxation.

Whether you're brand new to Taiji or looking to deepen your existing practice, this welcoming class is designed for all experience levels.

🌱 You’ll learn how to:
✔️ Improve balance, coordination & mobility
✔️ Learn foundational Taiji movements and principles
✔️ Reduce stress and promote relaxation
✔️ Build confidence in a sustainable, lifelong practice
✔️ Support both physical health and mental clarity

And you'll be guided by Chris Campbell, an experienced instructor with more than 39 years of dedication to Taiji, Qigong, meditation, and the healing arts.

📅 Wednesdays | September 16 – November 4, 2026

No intense workouts. No experience necessary. Just come ready to move, breathe, and discover a healthier balance. ❤️

👉 Give yourself the gift of movement and mindfulness this fall! Register today for Discovering the Health and Balance Benefits of Taiji.

Big ideas. Small tools. HUGE creativity!

Our latest Maker’s Playground Summer Camp was packed with creativity, hands-on learning, and some seriously awesome projects! 🙌

Our campers didn’t just learn about making—they BECAME makers! 🛠️

Personalized Cutting Boards – They designed and created their very own custom cutting boards!

Personalized Wooden Pens – Using our mini lathes, campers turned pieces of wood into one-of-a-kind pens they could actually use!

Personalized Rings – And yes…they even got to use the mini lathes to create their own custom rings! How cool is that?!

From designing and creating to learning how to safely use the equipment, these campers got a little taste of what it means to take an idea and turn it into something real.

And the best part? They get to take their creations home!

Another awesome week of making, learning, and creating at the Lake Michigan College Fab Lab!

Give these young makers some love in the comments!

Who says you can’t have fun with circuits?!

Our latest Build Your Own Clock Circuit Summer Camp was all about turning a handful of components, some creativity, and a little patience into something that actually keeps time! 🕒🔧

Campers dove into the world of electronics, learning how circuits work, connecting components, troubleshooting their builds, and—most importantly—getting hands-on with the technology behind their very own clock.

There were plenty of “Wait…why isn’t it working?” moments 😂, but that’s where the real learning happened! From the first connection to watching those digits come to life, our campers got to experience the satisfaction of building something from scratch and making it work. 🙌

Learn it. Build it. Troubleshoot it. Make it yours.

That’s what making at the Lake Michigan College Fab Lab is all about!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us and made this camp such a fun one!

🎓🎉 And that’s a wrap on our very first Little Maker / Big Ideas Summer Camp! 🏆✨

What an unforgettable week! On our final day, our amazing campers put the finishing touches on their custom-engraved stainless steel water bottles using the laser machines 🤩—and then hosted a full project showcase to show off everything they created this week!

From laser-cut badges and 3D prints to turned wooden pens, custom vinyl t-shirts, duck games, and wooden signs, these kids blew us away with their talent, focus, and creativity.

A HUGE thank you to all of our Little Makers! You were exceptionally well-behaved, eager to learn, and such a joy to teach every single day. We are so proud of what you accomplished! 🛠️❤️

Thank you to all the parents and families for supporting your young makers. Until next time, keep creating! 🚀👇
