MAGIC Camp – Mentoring a Girl in Construction, one week only! JUNE, 2010
MAGIC is a one-week day camp where girls can make new friends with similar interests, discover their hidden talents, and explore some exciting non-traditional career options. Under the watchful eyes of NAWIC mentors, the girls will learn in a hands-on way the basic skills of carpentry, electrical, and masonry. Learning these skills while successfully completing construction projects builds confidence and self esteem. MAGIC camp is sponsored by NAWIC’s Boise Chapter #245 in partnership with Meridian's Joint School District No. 2, and community sponsors.

Block Kids This program is geared to interest children in grades 1-6. The program introduces the children to the construction industry in an effort to create an awareness of and promote interest in future careers in the many facets of the construction industry. NAWIC members visit elementary schools and provide each contestant with building blocks, a piece of string, aluminum foil and a rock, and are asked to design and create a structure of their own design. Winners of this event advance to regional and national competitions.
Drafting Competition: The CAD/Design Drafting Competition is designed for senior high students. Objectives of the contest are to introduce the student to the construction industry in a positive and challenging manner, while fostering a sense of self-worth and building confidence. The contest provides recognition to students for creative design, successful problem solving, and craftsmanship in preparing architectural drawings. Project drawings must include a minimum of a floor plan, exterior elevation, site plan, and placement of structure. Entries are evaluated for detail, accuracy and originality of work. Winners of this event advance to regional and national competitions.
Casino Express: Casino Express is another NAWIC fundraising opportunity. Members man blackjack, poker, roulette and craps tables for hire at business functions and community events. Funds from these Casino Express events are used to support the mission and activities of the Boise Chapter.
The NAWIC Boise Chapter’s Annual Dinner Auction is held in November each year. Proceeds from the auction help to fund all our service and scholarship activities for the year. We are fortunate to enjoy the support of our representative companies and others who attend the event and bid generously on silent and live auction items. Bidding is heavy each year on the silent dessert auction in which each table is guaranteed a delicious dessert if one if purchased at the bid table!
