youth classes
Throughout the year, we offer multi-week beginning woodworking classes for teens (ages 11-15) and younger kids (ages 8-11). Below are the descriptions of each class and links to scheduled future sessions. If no sessions are listed, have no fear! It just means we haven’t scheduled them yet, not that we won’t hold them in the future. If you’re interested in learning more or have any questions, please feel free to email us at info@woodworkersclub.com.
Expectations of Enrollment:
If you are interested in signing your child up for one of these classes, please plan on remaining present for the duration of each class; we would like at least one parent present per class (and who knows, you might learn something too!). Also, please keep in mind that if your child has to miss a day of class for any reason, you will not be able to reschedule. If you would like to schedule a make-up class (for an additional fee) or if your child’s schedule doesn’t work with our class schedule, we offer 1-on-1 instruction which we can tailor to your availability.
