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 12 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!

Build Camp is meant to expose youth to many aspects of building and creating. As such it is a creative environment in which youth are exposed to tools, methods, processes, and project-based learning. Projects for 2019 include a power hammer for blacksmithing, a battery-powered electric model train that's big enough to ride on, a dune buggy, Tesla Coil, a High temperature oven and more!
Due to the creative nature of build camp we may or may not complete any or all of the intended project but we are committed to make sure that each child has an equal opportunity to participate, learn and grow.

Ages 12 and up are invited. Parents are encouraged (but not required) to attend. Build Camp starts at 10:00 AM on each day and ends at about 5:00 PM. Participants should eat breakfast before arriving.
