Give your child the gift of imagination with a custom-built playhouse! Whether it's a fairy-tale cottage, a fire station, or a space explorer hub, our handcrafted playhouses provide a special place for kids to dream, play, and create lasting memories. Built with care by volunteers, each playhouse is sturdy, safe, and designed to bring joy to families. Playhouses will be designed on April 26, 2025, during our Blue Jeans, BBQ & Blueprints Festival. Families must attend the event and have adequate transportation to take the playhouse home. Fill out our interest form today!
