Welcome to Colorado Tinkering School
At Colorado Tinkering School, we believe that creativity, curiosity, and hands-on learning are the keys to unlocking young minds.
Our workshops are all about making, building, and exploring—whether it's constructing a go-kart, crafting a wooden play structure, or experimenting with new materials and techniques. With expert instructors, including master boat builders and multi-faceted artists, we empower kids and teens to bring their wildest ideas to life.
Located at Westside Community Center in Colorado Springs, Tinkering School is the perfect place for your child to discover their inner maker and build memories that will last a lifetime!
So, what will your young maker learn?
-
Campers gain hands-on experience with real woodworking and construction tools, all in a safe and supervised environment. They’ll learn to measure, drill, sand, and build while mastering power tool safety and worksite awareness.
Tools They’ll Use:
Tape measurer, level, clamps, sanders, power drill, impact driver, table saw, band saw, compound miter saw, drill press & more! -
Camp is kid-driven, meaning campers imagine and create their own open-ended creative builds, embracing problem-solving and adaptability. Whether they’re crafting a roller coaster or constructing a castle, they’ll gain confidence learning new skills —learning that mistakes are part of the process and every challenge has a solution.
-
Building something amazing takes collaboration! Campers will work together to design, construct, and bring their projects to life—learning how to communicate, share responsibilities, and celebrate what they create as a team.
