Bond at the Betts
Each summer,
Bond at the Betts, offers youth,
ages 8 to 16, from urban recreation center summer programs, a hands-on
introduction to
the building trades. Past
activities have included mixing mortar and laying brick, an
introduction to archaeology, housepainting, roofing, blacksmithing, and
an introduction to architecture. Our youth are instructed and
guided in these activities by qualified professionals with long and
distinguished careers in these fields.
Bond at the Betts is a group
program and is unable to accept individual childrem at this time. There
are other summer building trades programs that focus on individual
children including
Rosie's
Girls and the
School
of Architecture and Interior Design at UC.
