The Building Industry Association of Southern California is introducing Junior Builder Camp, a summer program for kids who like to build.
According to The Orange County Register, the weeklong camp will take participants on visits to model homes and construction sites, and will include a homebuilding contest using the online design program, “Welcome to Bloxburg.” It will also include programming to develop leadership and self-confidence.
“Our goal with the Junior Builder program is to…inspire a new generation of future professionals through a unique experience that is fun, educational and motivating,” said Jeff Montejano, CEO of the Southern California BIA chapter.
The camp will take place from July 29 through Aug. 2 in Irvine and Costa Mesa, among other sites. Enrollment is $300.
