About the camp

Start by learning how to use a MIG welder and basic welding techniques such as beading, padding and the gas metal arc welding process. Practice your skills by welding a variety of projects and then transform a steel plate into the skeleton of a dinosaur!

Take home your welding creations at the end of the week.
