Construction Camp 2026

Construction Camp 2026

June 8–12, 2026

Build Skills. Build Confidence. Build Community.

Are you curious about how houses are built—or interested in a future in construction, engineering, or the skilled trades? Construction Camp is a free, hands-on, five-day experience where you’ll work alongside professionals, learn real-world construction skills, and gain exposure to career pathways that build both homes and futures.

Participants will spend the week learning foundational construction techniques, working as a team on an active Habitat for Humanity of York County build site, and developing workplace skills such as communication, responsibility, and leadership.
