Camp Build returns to Anaheim on June 1
Students with an interest in construction and engineering can apply for a one-day camp this summer sponsored by The Rosendin Foundation.

TRF Camp Build returns to Anaheim in June. The program is designed “to ignite the joy of building in middle school students,” according to the nonprofit, which looks to make a positive impact on communities.

The program launched in 2023 and will host its second camp on Saturday, June 1.

The free, co-ed electrical mini-day camp is engineered for current sixth- through eighth-graders. It’s hosted at Rosendin’s local headquarters at 1730 S. Anaheim Way.

Students who are accepted into camp will get hands-on experience such as using hand and power tools, bending conduits, virtually building and estimating using Building Information Modeling and wiring lamps that they will get to take home.

The deadline for registration is March 31.

“This camp is a unique opportunity for us to continue building not only structures but also lasting connections with the young minds of the future workforce,” said Jolsna Thomas, president of The Rosendin Foundation.

TRF Camp Build is also seeking sponsors. For more information about the program and the application process, go to therosendinfoundation.org/camp-build.

Employee-owned and San Jose-based Rosendin is one of the nation’s largest electrical contractors. It has at least 7,000 employees.
