Guest teacher Jessica of Cadence Rains leads a one-hour workshop where each person builds a framed Christmas tree from preserved green and red mosses and lichens. You finish it with dried flowers, tiny velvet bows, stars and beads, and choose a holiday scrapbook paper for the background. The studio describes it as beginner friendly and a good project to do with your kids.
The workshop is Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 6:00 PM at Mosaic Montage, 2205 Market Street. A seat costs a $9 reservation fee paid to the studio online, plus $36 paid to the instructor at the class by cash, Venmo or credit card, with a 3% surcharge on cards.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.

The story of Christmas in Camp Hill
Camp Hill is believed to owe its name to a church quarrel: when the congregation of the Peace Church split, a faction led by John Winebrenner began meeting outdoors on a hill, and the area took the name. This season the borough's holiday activities for kids are indoors, at Fredricksen Library and at a craft studio on Market Street.
How Camp Hill celebrates
For kids, Camp Hill's holiday season this year runs through two places. Fredricksen Library, part of the Cumberland County Library System, uses its Ruggaber Community Room for Santa's Workshop on Thursday, December 3, 2026, where ages 5 to 8 make simple gifts, and for a Nutcracker-themed yoga story time for preschoolers on Fridays, December 4 and 11, led by Ann Fields of Peaceful Poses Kids Yoga. On Market Street, the studio Mosaic Montage opens the season early with a Moss Christmas Tree Workshop on Tuesday, November 17, taught by guest teacher Jessica of Cadence Rains.

Bowman, the village's first postmaster, officially named it Camp Hill in 1869, and it was incorporated as a borough on November 10, 1885, from East Pennsboro Township.
