Teens explore design & woodworking with a focus on chairs! Mon through Fri, July 7 – 11 from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. Ages 13+ years welcome! This week of Summer Camp is all about designing chairs for every body! Steffanie Dotson and Don Ostertag welcome teens for a week of chair design, building, and design exploration. Why are most chairs the same size? We’ll talk about how chairs can be made for every body, and how comfort and designs affect our bodies. We’ll be sketching designs with pencil to paper and then we’ll move into model making and prototypes of chairs. Along the way, we’ll talk about the basics of how a chair is built, the various forces, and how failures can happen when not built properly. We’ll do mock-ups with plywood to refine our designs. Depending on how many design iterations each chairmaker goes through, by the end of the week, they’ll have some fun designs, models, lots of knowledge, and hopefully built chairs to show for it. Machine and tool safety is a big part of this camp. It is intended for teens with a keen interest in woodworking, design, or making chairs. Cell phones will be put away during this camp. Teens must be at least 13 years old to participate, since we’ll be using big machines in addition to hand tools. Sorry, no adults allowed. This camp is for teens, ages 13+ years. OPTIONAL | Lunch Hour Supervision If there is a camp ending as ours begins and you need your teen transferred from another camp, let us know! Optional Lunch Hour Supervision available.

Compost, mulch, cover cropping, and hedgerows all benefit soil. They increase soil biodiversity and nutrient levels, yielding healthier and more fertile crops. They protect soil structure by aiding in water retention, runoff prevention, and erosion protection. These natural and sustainable practices save costs in the long run through decreased water use and a reduced need for purchased additives. Attendees must pre-register. These practices are covered under the California Department of Food And Agriculture’s Healthy Soils Program Incentives grant, which provides funding to farmers to improve the health of their soils. In this webinar, we will cover: * An introduction to the Healthy Soils Program * The benefits, steps, and options for each of the four practices * Compost * Mulch * Cover crop * Hedgerows * Required documentation steps for the Healthy Soils Program * Outlook for next HSP grant cycles Thank you to our sponsors, the California Department of Food And Agriculture and California Climate Investments.

It’s important that your child bring water in a refillable bottle and a snack (no candy or peanut products please) in case they are hungry or thirsty during our time together.
