SUMMER @AMP: Outdoor Design & Build
Hands-on carpentry and woodworking for tweens and teens 12 and up.
You imagine it…and then you build it! In this small-group outdoor program, tweens and teens design, plan, and build lasting wood structures and sculptures in AMP’s kid-built Nature Playground. Working together, under the guidance of experienced woodworkers, participants gain practical skills and confidence using hand tools to create projects. Past projects include an outdoor stage, A-frame, pergola, planter boxes, a treehouse and more!
In this program, teens and tweens will:
Gain basic carpentry skills—measuring, cutting, fitting, and more.
Use their own set of hand tools—and take pride in their proper care and safe use.
Try out building techniques using modern, dimensional lumber.
Learn to source natural materials from the environment.
Develop spatial design aptitudes.
Work as a team.
Discover the joy of real-life woodworking and building.
This small-group outdoor program, led by Chip Heuer and Justin Truskauskas maintains a 3:1 student-to-teacher ratio to provide hands-on direction. Two five-day sessions are offered. You may register for one or both. Space is limited.
