Day 1 of Construction Camp is officially in the books, and what a great start it was!
Our campers kicked off the day with a classroom session focused on the safe and effective use of basic construction tools before putting their new knowledge into action by building their own modules. Throughout the day, they were guided by our Habitat construction team, dedicated community volunteers, and Mark from Solid Rock Carpentry LLC, who shared his expertise and passion for the skilled trades.
During lunch, campers had the opportunity to learn about the many career paths available in the construction industry from Josh Price with T. A. Loving Company. They also received a financial literacy lesson from Kaylee with NC Community Credit Union, helping them understand the importance of managing money and planning for the future.
The learning continued as Chris from Jackson Builders Inc. provided an introduction to blueprint reading, teaching campers how construction professionals turn plans on paper into completed projects.
Day 1 was a tremendous success, and we can't wait to welcome everyone back tomorrow as we shift our focus to the exciting world of electrical work!
A special thank you to our incredible partners, volunteers, and sponsors who make opportunities like Construction Camp possible. Your support is helping inspire the next generation of skilled trades professionals, and we couldn't do it without you.
