Send your kid(s) to the OTL for a 1-day camp where they will learn how to build a nesting box for their feathered friends.
About this Event

We're offering a 1-day workshop for children (9-12 year olds) to learn basic woodworking skills by building a nesting box. Camp runs from 9am - 3pm.

The nesting box will be unfinished at the end of the class which is a great opportunity for your kid(s) to decorate it to their heart's content at home.

Your kid(s) will learn to safely use woodworking hand tools to build a simple Nesting Box designed by Cornell Lab Nest Watch. This will make a great addition to any backyard and your kid(s) will leave with a sense of pride, accomplishment, and the knowledge to continue building.

Our Instructor, Evan Blackburn, is an experienced teacher that focuses on early learning skills development, and being safe and responsible in the shop.

Space is limited to eight (8) participants. The workshop will be taught by one instructor and an assistant.

If you're not a member of the Ottawa Tool Library, check out the benefits that come with a membership here. Please note that we're extending a 10% discount to our OTL annual membership holders.

Notes:

The OTL Tinkering School is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable learning experience for all.

Before selecting and signing up for this camp, please be sure that your child understands that the activities will require their attention and maturity. We are working with tools that must be used carefully to ensure everyone’s safety. If you have any questions, please contact us ([email protected]).

Make sure this camp date works for your family. Refunds will not be issued unless you find someone to take your child's spot with our approval.
