Carpentry is limited to a maximum of six campers and to campers ages 12 and older. Many structures around camp, including the games shed, lost-and-found shed, and many picnic tables and benches, were built by campers themselves! In the Carpentry Focus Group, campers will build benches and signs for current and future campers. Campers will learn practical, creative skills such as recognizing quality wood, implementing essential safety measures, measuring and marking lumber for their structure designs, attaching wood pieces with bolts and hex screws, and addressing design considerations to build a structure sturdy enough to withstand weather and the energy of enthusiastic adults and kids!
