Echo Lake Christian Academy is excited to invite you to our Kids' Makers Market this Thursday, June 4th, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Solid Rock Day Camp Gymnasium!

This special event is much more than a market, it's the culmination of months of hard work, creativity, entrepreneurship, and hands-on learning by our students. Throughout the year, our children have been learning valuable life skills through our Home Economics program, and now they have the opportunity to showcase and sell items they have personally designed, created, and produced.

You will find a variety of:

Handmade Crafts
Food Items
Student Services
Creative Gifts and Unique Creations

Our students have poured their hearts into preparing for this event. They have brainstormed ideas, developed products, practiced budgeting, learned customer service skills, and worked diligently to bring their visions to life. We could not be more proud of their effort, determination, and creativity!

Whether you're looking for a special handmade gift, a delicious treat, or simply want to encourage the next generation of young entrepreneurs, we would love for you to join us. Every purchase, conversation, and word of encouragement helps build confidence in these students and celebrates the hard work they have invested.

Event Details:

📍 Solid Rock Day Camp Gymnasium
37 Stephens Road
West Milford, NJ 07480

📅 Thursday, June 4th

🕕 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

🎟️ Free Admission

Please invite your friends, family members, neighbors, church family, and anyone who enjoys supporting local children and small businesses. The more community support our students receive, the more meaningful this experience becomes for them.

Thank you for helping us encourage these amazing young people as they learn, grow, create, and serve for the glory of God. We look forward to seeing you there!
