Students help out at Habitat for Humanity

The Mount Washington Valley School to Career Partnership offers summer camps for area middle school students. These week-long summer programs are designed to introduce local youth to the wide variety of career opportunities available to them as they get older. Run on a day-camp model, students will participate in hands-on activities and projects related to their field of interest and will visit local businesses to see what local professionals are actually doing day-by-day. There are currently four different camps: CSI Health, Culinary, Robotics and Construction. Students in the construction camp are building their own Adirondack chairs which they get to keep. This year students also got to help out at the current Habitat for Humanity project on North Road in Conway. While there, they got to meet the Swan family, which was chosen for a Habitat home, and presented the family with one of the Adirondack chairs they made. Businesses, groups and individuals partnering in the construction camp are Chick Lumber Company, Cormack Construction Management, Flatbread Pizza, Habitat for Humanity, Kiwanis, Lowe's, Paul Cail, Rotary Club of North Conway, and The Home Depot. Summer camp coordinator is Joe Riddensdale.
