At Maplewoodshop, we build more than birdhouses. We build:

Leadership

Woodworking enables us to work together and build community. It provides a link to the past while also allowing for the development of new world skills. It connects us to ourselves through exploration and expression.

Community

Woodworking offers a CONNECTION to each other, to the past, to oneself and enhances social emotional skills
