Reserving Michael’s Woodshop
Michael’s Woodshop is a well outfitted wood shop with tools and work space to complete almost any wood working or carpentry project.
Our group of volunteer Shop Stewards can help you organize your event and tailor your activities to the age, group size, and time available. If you have an adult leader who is willing to attend training to become a Trained Leader, you may host your own events in the wood shop.
Shop Stewards are also available to supervise or assist with your event.
Woodshop Usage Fees

Support Michael’s Woodshop
We are always looking for ways to expand or improve the capabilities of Michael’s Woodshop. We happily accept donations of new or good condition used tools. We have created a wish list of items that we currently need. For those that wish to purchase an item for the shop, we have included many items on our Amazon registry. Small items may be dropped off at the office or shipped directly to Camp Snyder.

Just because an item does not appear on our wish list does not mean we can’t use it. If you have good condition used tools that are not listed or large equipment that you would like to donate, please contact us at michaelswoodshop.cwbs@gmail.com to determine our current needs. We are happy to arrange to pick up large, heavy or bulky items.

Shop Safety
We are committed to the safety of all participants. While you are always welcome to bring your own safety gear, we do have safety glasses and ear protection available. Airborne saw dust is not only an irritant; it can pose health risks. To minimize this risk, we have installed a dust collection system, a down draft table for sanding and two air filtration units.
