About this activity
Join us for hands-on woodworking classes designed to equip students with practical skills, confidence using tools, and pride in creating something with their own hands. Each student will complete three unique projects per session and will be provided their own set of tools to use in class. Our woodworking program follows a progressive pathway: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each level introduces new skills, tools, and project challenges while building upon previously learned techniques. BEGINNER WOODWORKING The Beginner Woodworking Series is designed for students with little to no woodworking experience. Safety serves as the foundation for every project as students learn to confidently use basic woodworking tools and develop essential shop skills. Projects are intentionally designed around the tool or skill being introduced, allowing students to gain hands-on experience while creating projects they can proudly take home.
