Camp Scrap Earth Day Party — Niles

Fremont’s Niles District is hosting a drop-in Earth Day craft party today, April 19, with sustainability-themed art activities at Cassa Jam from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (eventsincalifornia.com) The event is billed as “Camp Scrap,” a day camp-style gathering for “all ages” outside Cassa Jam at 37729 Niles Boulevard in Fremont. The Eventbrite listing says admission is sliding scale, with free entry or donations and a recommended $5 to $10 contribution. (eventbrite.com) Organizers say visitors can “drop in any time” during the six-hour window rather than arrive for a fixed start. Supplies are listed as first come, first served, with the event centered on making crafts from reused materials. (eventbrite.com) The party lands during Earth Day season, when cities, schools, and community groups typically use hands-on activities to connect recycling and reuse to everyday life. Fremont’s own Environmental Services Department held its annual Earth Day Fair on Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (fremont.gov) In this case, the Earth Day message is tied to creative reuse: taking leftover or discarded materials and turning them into art instead of trash. The Eventbrite page describes the gathering as a call for “fun, vibrant, curious, experimental campers” to make “the craft of your dreams.” (eventbrite.com) Cassa Jam has also been hosting other craft-focused events in Niles, including “Camp Scrap” junk journal nights listed for April 2026. That suggests the Earth Day party is part of a broader local workshop calendar rather than a one-off fair booth.
