You will be amazed what kids can do! We will be building cool projects which will teach skills, techniques, abilities, boost confidence and give your child an experience he or she will never forget. We will complete real projects with real results. All projects are intended to inspire and motivate kids and families to do fun projects at home.

All are invited to participate from ages 10 and up.
Here is a look at last year's event.

Talented parents are invited to come and help out. What a great way to spend quality time with your children!

Children who require frequent attention/supervision are invited to participate only with a parent. We will be doing serious constructing activities including cutting wood and metal, painting and welding and using many other tools. If your child will be at risk in semi hazardous environments please do not attend.

 
Ages 10-18 are invited. Parents are encouraged (but not required) to attend. Build Camp starts at 4:00 pm on Thursday and runs until about 7:00 PM on Saturday ending with a pot luck barbecue for family members who could not join us for the event.
