On Monday, students will build their own raised garden beds, learning measuring, cutting, and assembly techniques while creating something they can use at home.

Tuesday’s camp focuses on crafting a handmade wooden candy dispenser, combining creativity with simple mechanical design.

On Wednesday, campers will build a wooden birdhouse, gaining experience with tools while learning about structure and design.

Thursday and Friday make up a special two day half day camp experience focused on working with concrete. During this extended session, students will learn the basics of mixing, forming, and finishing concrete as they complete a unique take home project.

Camp takes place on the ECAT campus, where students will have access to tools, materials, and guidance from experienced instructors. It’s a great opportunity for teens to learn, create, and connect while enjoying a productive and memorable summer experience
