Bid to win $250 Off In-Person Tinkering Camp valid for Summer 2021 at reDiscover Center.

Come build amazing eco-friendly creations with us! Tinkering Camp teaches children the skills they need to turn their wildest imaginings into robust items made from wood, plastic, metal, and fabric. While practicing social distancing with their own workbench and set of tools for the week, the group will have activities that encourage socialization and cooperation while building projects on their own to a group theme. With a 5:1 camper to facilitator ratio, our workshop provides a supportive environment for personal growth through skills development and creative construction. This is a COVID-modified version of our flagship program. For safety, and to facilitate making at home after camp is over, add on a new Tinkering Tool Kit to your tinkerer's home makerspace at the end of the week.

Please read our In-Person COVID Policy.

Since 2004, reDiscover Center has worked with local businesses to divert scrap, overstock, and other materials from the trash stream and use them in art, environmental education, and tinkering programs. Basically, we have a huge pile of junk and we know what to do with it. Tinkerers in our programs make everything from wood scrap sculptures to life size super heroes, working go carts, and 8 foot tall art machines.
