2014 Youth Carpentry Camp

Nine children (grades 6 to 8) demonstrated their carpentry skills during the free two-week Youth Carpentry Camp hosted at Assiniboine Community College’s North Hill Campus.

ACC teamed up with Apprenticeship Manitoba to give the participants a hands-on introduction to carpentry, the apprenticeship model, and related employment opportunities.
Children had the opportunity to build projects such as birdhouses, board games, clothes hangers, and stilts. For their final project students put their new knowledge to the test building doghouses which were donated to the Brandon Humane Society.
