Campers will create amazing designs on wood from pencil sketches or create free-form designs. They will also learn monogram styles and lettering. We will provide gloves for campers to use while they create their artwork. Campers can bring wooden items from home if they wish to burn their own designs onto them. For example: picture frames, treasure boxes, baseball bats, wooden souvenirs, ornaments, and more.

Join us for a week of hands-on creativity and fun! In this camp, children will learn the basics of woodworking, including how to safely use tools, project layout, measure and cut materials (with hand and power tools), and assemble their own projects. Through guided activities, they’ll develop problem-solving skills, patience, and a sense of accomplishment as they create something they can take home. This camp fosters creativity, teamwork, and confidence while introducing children to a valuable lifelong skill in a safe and encouraging environment.

World Spirituality & Ethics is a survey of major world religions and an exploration of ethics. Students will leave this course with a deeper understanding of their own spiritual and ethical outlook and with a sense of the beliefs and practices of traditions other than their own. Religions surveyed will include Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Student work will include discussion, reading, journaling, an ethics debate, and a final exam.
Attendance Policy: With only 12 days of class time, all students are expected to be present all 12 days. An absence would jeopardize a student’s receiving credit for the course. (The only possible exception would be due to unforeseen legitimate circumstances, in which case the absence would need to be made up during the weekday mornings between July 16-July 31. Absences due to unforeseen illness will be supported to the extent possible.)
