Hire Us
Our mobile woodworking classes are available for hire! We can design a program that will fit your needs. Our creative woodworking program for children ages 5+ is housed in renovated buses and trailers. Each classroom has individual adjustable workbenches equipped with hand tools, supplies, and materials: everything needed to create a multitude of woodworking projects. This program teaches children creative problem-solving and how to use tools safely, effectively, and (ultimately) independent of adult assistance. The buses and trailers go to schools, museums, community centers, and private events.
We offer a number of ways to engage with the community, such as:
At Schools:
In-School (standards-based curriculum)
After-School Programming
Our school woodworking curriculum works best over multiple classes/weeks. We recommend 6 or more sessions to maximize the students’ experience.
Private Events:
Birthday parties
Groups and gatherings
Community Events
Headquarter Classes:
Afterschool Programs
Seasonal Intensives
