Construction

Join our Construction camps or classes and get a hands-on introduction to the skilled trades through fun, age-appropriate building and repair projects! Whether your student is measuring and designing a mock room, fixing drywall, or learning to use real tools, they will build confidence, problem-solving skills, and a greater understanding of how things work. These experiences spark curiosity and show youth the real-world value of working with their hands – whether for a future career or everyday life.

Get hands-on experience with real tools and real construction projects with T4 Contractors, LLC – like fixing drywall, assembling shelves, and installing door knobs! Participants will learn how to safely use real-life tools of the trade and feel confident in their DIY-ability. Whether or not a student decides to pursue a trade, they will walk away from Build It and Fix It Camp thinking differently about how things work and what they’re capable of building themselves!
