Young Children's Community (YCC)
YCC Camp will run during the six weeks of summer camp listed above. This year, the program will continue with the school-year curriculum rather than themed weeks, as this approach is developmentally appropriate for children at this age. While maintaining consistency in learning, we’ll also incorporate extra outdoor play and summer-focused activities to make the most of the season.

Re-Makers Workshop
This is the camp where “old” becomes “awesome!” Led by Pinewoods Parent and Dad of Mad Skill, Miguel Mendez, The Re-Maker Workshop is a hands-on woodworking experience designed for elementary-age creators who love to build, tinker, and explore.

Guided by tool safety and an eco-friendly mindset, students will master real skills with hammers, saws, and hand drills, learning that with a little imagination and a lot of grit, any scrap can become a treasure. Join us this summer to saw, sand, and build a greener future, one project at a time!
