Youth between the ages of 8-18 (age as of Jan. 1, 2024) are invited to join Lehigh County Cooperative Extension for its beginner level “Measuring Up” woodworking camp from 6-8 p.m. July 24 and 25 in a wood shop at 3744 Church View Road, Emmaus.

Campers will develop skills that woodworkers use, such as measuring, squaring and cutting a board, driving nails, and using clamps and screws in this 2-evening camp.

Designed for beginners, youth will learn these concepts while working with master carpenters through the 4-H Woodworking Wonders Level 1: Measuring Up book, then develop these skills hands-on while building a box, napkin holder, or picture frame.

This is a learning experience for 4-H youth, and campers will be expected to follow instructions for safety.

Registration is limited to nine campers.

Once the session is filled, youth can register to be added to the wait list.

The cost for each camper will cover the materials, instruction, and use of tools.

For youth who are not already enrolled 4-H members, there will be a 4-H enrollment fee charge.

If you are interested in this camping experience for your child or for more information on 4-H, contact the Lehigh County 4-H office at 610-391-9840.

Registration deadline is July 18.

Registration can be made by visiting 4h.zsuite.org and registering through Lehigh County, then choose the camp under the Events page.
