Description: Turn up the volume on creativity in this high-energy, hands-on maker camp where campers build their own electric guitar from the ground up! Throughout the week, students will transform a wooden guitar kit into a fully playable instrument—then plug in and jam together.
During this immersive experience, campers will:
--> Assemble a Real Electric Guitar – Learn how guitar bodies, necks, pickups, and hardware work together as they build and wire their instrument.
--> Master Woodshop Tools – Safely use hand tools and shop equipment to sand, shape, and refine their guitar body.
--> Design & Decorate – Customize their instrument with paint, stain, and laser-cut embellishments for a one-of-a-kind finish.
--> Tune & Play – Learn how to string and tune their guitar, understand the basics of sound and amplification, and jam together as a group to celebrate their creations.
Along the way, students will earn Tool & Skill Badges for woodworking, electronics basics, laser cutting, finishing techniques, tuning, and teamwork—plus special “Rockstar” character badges for perseverance, creativity, and collaboration
By the end of the week, campers won’t just leave with new skills—they’ll leave with a custom electric guitar they built themselves and the confidence to plug in and play.
No prior music or woodworking experience required—just curiosity, creativity, and a revved up attitude to rock!

Scholarship Information: Gizmo reserves half of all camp spots for scholarship recipients. Scholarships are based on financial need and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Gizmo uses a sliding scale system for scholarships: you decide what your family can reasonably contribute toward your child's camp experience, and Gizmo covers the difference. Families may apply for one scholarship per child, per summer, for the camp(s) of their choosing. To apply for a scholarship, please complete the Summer 2026 Scholarship Application form, which is accessible by clicking here. Upon approval of your application, you will be provided with instructions on how to register your child for camp. Please do not attempt to register prior to receiving a confirmation from Gizmo.
Cancellation Policy: If your child is no longer able to attend camp, you may cancel your registration up to 10 days prior to the start of camp for a 90% refund. (Gizmo retains 10% to cover our administrative/transaction costs.) Refunds will generally not be issued for cancellations within 10 days of camp, nor missed camp days.
Camp Policies & Procedures: Prior to completing camp registration, families should be familiar with the policies outlined in the Youth Programs: Information for Families and the Gizmo Student Code of Conduct.. In addition, each camper is required to have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian prior to participating in camp activities. You can access the youth waiver here.
