Campers will learn the basics of the residential carpentry trade including how to use basic hand tools and electrical tools. They will work together as a group to build a housing structure in the classroom and will also complete a personal project to take home that showcase their new talents and incorporate skills they have learned. This is the perfect camp for students who want to work with their hands and test out the trades.
