Summer Camp | Teen Girls Woodworking Camp | 13+yrs

$375.00

Teen Girls explore woodworking in a woman-run woodshop!

Monday through Friday
July 28 – Aug 1 from 1pm – 4pm


Ages 13+years welcome!

Woodworker Aleya Lanteigne welcomes teens for a week of skill building in the woodshop!

This camp introduces Teens to woodworking basics, properties of wood and machine safety while designing and completing one or two projects, dependent on the pace of each student. Teens will explore building their own bandsaw box and a wooden vase, time permitting. We invite Teens into our woman-run woodshop to learn shop safety and how to use machines such as the bandsaw, scroll saw, spindle sander and drill press. A mix of woodworking techniques, including hand tools and safe practice of machine operations, proper sanding and finishing will be covered. All materials are included.

This camp is for teens with an interest in learning woodworking. Cell phones will be put away during this camp. Teens must be at least 13 years old to participate, since we’ll be using big machines in addition to hand tools.
This camp is for teens, ages 13+ years.


OPTIONAL | Lunch Hour Supervision
If there is a camp ending as ours begins and you need your child or teen transferred, let us know! If you’d like your child or teen to stay during the lunch hour, there’s a $50 fee for the week to cover the lunchtime gap. They can bring a lunch and have lunch with us with the option to do a fun craft after lunch, or head out to grab a lunch and head back to the studio to eat in a safe, welcoming space.

This camp is held mostly in our woodshop, so we suggest:
• Dress in layers so they can adjust to the temperature.
