Kids prove productive with power tools at Construction Camp

Kids prove productive with power tools at Construction Camp

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Liz Sweet, 12, who is entering the 7th grade at St. Lawrence Elementary School, described her week at Price Hill Construction Camp: “Monday we made the floors of the shed, Tuesday we made the indoor walls; Wednesday we did the outdoor walls; today we are welding and building the outdoor walls a little bit more.”

What was it like learning to weld? “It was pretty awesome!”

Liz is one of 18 middle school children from the West Side who are hammering, sawing, and welding their way toward the construction of a garden shed. When they complete the 6-by-8 foot deluxe shed – which will come equipped with a sink, ceiling fan, windows with shutters, and even a birdhouse – they will have reinforced their math and reading skills as they follow blueprints and cut to measure; learned the importance of work readiness skills such as starting each day on time and following instructions, and been introduced to construction as a career.
