The eighth annual Lehigh Valley Let’s Build Construction Camp for Girls was held in Bethlehem, Pa. The free weeklong camp is designed for middle and high school girls to explore the construction trades, architecture, engineering and construction materials manufacturing through hands-on experiences and field trips.

As part of this year’s curriculum, students learned how to install standing-seam metal roofing and metal wall cladding. New this year, participants also made a metal bird feeder and learned how to operate a metal brake. The feeders were made from aluminum donated by ATAS International Inc., Allentown, Pa.

ATAS International has supported the camp since the camp’s inception, providing monetary and material donations along with support from staff who help with planning and execution and serve as camp instructors.
