Monday, November 11 from 12:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. This Woodworking Camp is all about building and designing in wood! Children will learn about the safe use of tools as well as the properties of wood while making projects. We’ll be upcycling wood and 2x4s into step stools, seating, and game prototypes. Projects and depth of skill exploration are matched up to the children’s age/ability. The first part of the day is structured around a step stool project so that campers can learn tool safety and get comfortable with our materials and workflow. The 2nd part of the camp will encourage children to sketch their ideas and designs, invent fun games that we can work on in small groups, and try out different building methods to see what works best as we spend the afternoon creatively constructing, engineering, and exploring all things wood! This camp is recommended for children 8-12 years. Some power tools will be used.
