Description:

It’s a metalworking safari!  In Youth Metalworking, students will focus on mastering techniques such as cutting, bending, and shaping cold metal, highlighted by welding activities in the Hot Shop.

The theme for this session is "Critters and Birds." In addition to their starter projects, campers will use upcycled silverware to weld unique bird sculptures, and use found objects like scraps, bolts, and hardware to create all kinds of critters spawned from their imagination. This theme emphasizes the beauty and innovation of creating art from recycled materials, encouraging campers to see the potential in everyday objects.

The program covers essential skills in MIG welding and plasma cutting, as well as various metal preparation tools including finger brakes, sheet metal rollers, angle grinders, files, metalworking hammers and anvils, and precision measuring instruments. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, campers will turn their visions into reality, crafting both functional and artistic metal pieces.

Campers are encouraged to attend both themed versions of our metalworking camp, for even more projects and more practice time in the shop.
