MCW SUMMER CAMP 2026
Join us for Mission Community Woodshop’s inaugural summer camps, each a weeklong introduction to a range of woodworking skills in our well-equipped shop. Campers -- rising 6th, 7th and 8th graders -- will be led by experienced woodworkers and counselors who will teach safe shop practices and give them confidence to measure and mark, use the table saw, bandsaw, drills, hammers, and more! Our days will include breaks and lunch in a nearby park for the right mix of woodworking and summer fun.
