Introduce your teens to woodcraft in this week of half-day sessions, where they’ll learn to use woodworking tools to bring ideas to life. Whether students want to be engineers, artisans, or just handy homeowners, this is a great learning experience. Groups are small so people get individual attention. They’ll ask questions and get answers; and they’ll enjoy the process.
Summer Camp attendees will build at least two projects, which will be selected based upon the experience of the students. They’ll learn to use woodturning and joinery tools and techniques, and will leave with some pieces they’ll be pleased with.
Instructor Phil Roybal has many years’ experience introducing teenage woodworkers to the joys of craft, and knows how to relate to young people with humor and patience. Sign your teen up today and open the door to a lifelong enjoyment of craft.
Minimum of 5 students, ages 11+
