About the project:
The organization Girls at Work joined Rock Point Summer Camp Campers and Counselors this summer for an exciting project. Ten girls, ages 7-10, worked in teams to build successfully five Adirondack chairs under the guidance and support of Girls at Work. They learned how to safely use power tools, wood working skills and team work.
At the closing debrief circle, the campers all sat in the chairs they built. The leader asked each girl, “What happened for you today?” They answered:
“I used a lot of power tools today that I’ve never used before today. When I saw that power saw I kind of freaked out. But when I was using it, I wasn’t freaked out any more. I’m proud of myself!”
“I built an awesome chair today.”
“I learned I am able to build a chair. I learned that whatever a boy says I can’t make, I know it’s not true.”
