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.

The 2010 Bond at the Betts program has been generously funded by The Spirit of Construction Foundation and The Greater Cincinnati Foundation Summertime Kids program.

Many thanks to our 2010 instructors including The Zero Company and blacksmith Marsha Meadows Nelson.

Bond at the Betts received an Award of Merit from the American Architectural Foundation's Grants Program in 2008.
