Besides all of the fun and games, campers were able to develop practical skills in an educational workshop of their choice. In one of those workshops, campers were instructed by Josh Kurtz in how to safely use power tools while they constructed picnic tables.
In another workshop on Photography, Kelly Jobe taught campers how to work a digital camera along with proper compositional techniques for creating excellent pictures.
Other workshops included Drama, Dance, Cooking, Gardening, "How Stuff Works,” Sewing and Design, and a few more. All of them presented campers with numerous, valuable skills to be learned.
In addition to Camp Skillz being a place where kids can fill their summer days with loads of fun, it’s a wonderful vehicle for the development of relevant skills. Because the camp caters to kids from low-income backgrounds, many of the campers are able to participate in opportunities that otherwise may not have been available to them.
