Woodworking

For 4th through 7th Graders:

Woodworking is great for learning how to work carefully and accurately, to follow directions, and to develop a love of labor. In this camp, we'll learn how to safely use basic woodworking hand tools to make some fun projects. After establishing shop rules, learning how to read a ruler, and practicing with each tool, we'll make some fun projects out of wood, like a ruler, a pencil holder, a spatula, and a planter box. Once the projects have been sanded and finished with a water-based topcoat (which is safe and VOC-free), students can take their creations home!

For 8th through 12th Graders: 

In this camp, we'll learn how to safely use basic woodworking hand tools to make some fun projects. Learning how to create something with your hands is a challenging and fun activity, and the feeling of using something you made yourself is powerful indeed! This could be the beginning of a useful skill or perhaps even a lifelong hobby. Some of the projects include a pencil holder, a spatula, a planter box, a carpenter's square, and a candlestick holder. Once the projects have been sanded and finished with a water-based topcoat (which is safe and VOC-free), students can take their creations home!

Woodworking for Adults: 

Developing basic woodworking skills is a handy skill to have and easier to learn than one might think! There's a special kind of satisfaction that comes from using something you made yourself! Come to learn how to safely use everyday hand tools as we create projects like a pencil holder, a planter box, a candlestick holder, and more.
