Lehigh Valley, Pa \u2013 Youth between the ages of 8-18 (age as of Jan 1, 2024) are invited to join us for a beginner or intermediate level woodworking camp. This spring we will host two sessions, a beginner camp called \u201cMeasuring Up,\u201d and an intermediate level woodworking camp called \u201cSaw it, Build it!\u201d<\/p>\n
In the Measuring Up camp, campers will develop skills that woodworkers use, such as measuring, squaring & cutting a board, driving nails, and using clamps and screws in this 2-evening camp. Designed for beginners, youth will learn these concepts while working with master carpenters through the 4-H Woodworking Wonders Level 1: Measuring Up book, then develop these skills hands-on while building a box, napkin holder, or picture frame. This is a learning experience for 4-H youth, and campers will be expected to follow instructions for safety. The camp will be held in a woodshop at 3744 Church View Road, Emmaus, PA, 18049. The camp dates are July 24 and 25, 2024 from 6-8 pm.<\/p>\n
In the Saw It, Build It camp, campers will use woodworking skills to build a set of folding sawhorses. This is a learning experience for 4-H youth, and campers will be expected to follow instructions for safety. The camp will be held in a woodshop at 3744 Church View Road, Emmaus, PA, 18049. The camp dates are June 12 and 13, 2024 from 6-8 pm.<\/p>\n
Registration is limited to 9 for Measuring Up and 6 for Saw It, Build it. Once the session is filled, youth can register to be added to the waitlist. The cost for each camp is $20 which covers the materials, instruction, and use of tools. For youth who are not already enrolled 4-H members, there will be a $30 4-H enrollment fee charge.
