  Join us in our woodshop! During the two-week session, campers will learn the basics of woodworking while making wooden games and puzzles like peg solitaire, tic-tac-toe and mini plinko. (Exact projects will depend on material availability and camper interest.) Campers will craft each piece from start to finish, including planning, measuring, cutting, assembling and finishing. Along the way, they will gain experience with a variety of hand and powered tools, including hammers, screwdrivers, measuring tools, drills, sanders, saws, as well as painting and staining techniques. They will also have the opportunity to use Tenacre's laser cutter to craft decorative elements for their projects. Throughout camp, strong emphasis will be placed on shop safety and understanding the structural properties of wood that make it unique as a building material. Come discover the joys of working with wood and making fun projects that are yours to keep and built to last!
