Group Workshops, Private Lessons and Woodworking Summer Camps for Kids!

Woodworking engages kids’ minds, builds patience and develops true confidence — the exact opposite for kids as being on screens! Woodworking encourages problem-solving, focus and resilience as kids learn to measure, cut and assemble real projects with their own hands. Our shop and team of expert coaches provide a calming, screen-free escape for children that boosts creativity and self-esteem. We help young makers develop lifelong skills while having fun and learning in a safe and supportive environment!
