Camp NAWIC Orange County

Don’t miss this girls-only introduction to construction camp! Camp NAWIC Orange County provides a unique week-long, hands-on approach to a construction career to girls in grades 13-17 at no cost to the participants. Campers learn the basic elements of various construction trades, such as carpentry, electrical, plumbing, sheet metal, landscaping, geology, concrete, and tile. Seasoned mentors and role models are on hand with a safety-first attitude and a “we can do it” mindset to support the campers every step of the way.

Campers also learn team-building concepts and a team approach to completing their tasks. Working together in the spirit of cooperation, campers learn to understand and demonstrate effective communication to achieve the intended result. Most importantly, campers develop greater self-confidence and better self-esteem as they tackle and successfully complete challenging projects.
