Join us this summer for a woodworking camp taught by master woodworker, Mario Rodriguez.

Camp takes place on the grounds of the Tree House, The Wissahickon Environmental Center, located in the scenic Andorra Natural Area. This is an outdoor camp with indoor accommodations in case of inclement weather. Materials and tools are provided. Experience is not necessary, only a desire to build and have fun!
