The Rosendin Foundation Launches 5 Free Construction Camps for Middle School Students

The Rosendin Foundation has launched its TRF Camp Build, a summer program designed to inspire and empower middle school students

Construction Superintendent

The Rosendin Foundation has launched its TRF Camp Build, a summer program designed to inspire and empower middle school students to discover the joy of building with their hands. Recognizing the significant shortage of workers in the construction industry, The Rosendin Foundation aims to bridge the gap by providing students with hands-on experiences and a new perspective on career options.

TRF Camp Build is a summer program designed for sixth-eighth graders interested in learning how to design and build projects using power tools. This free co-ed day camp offers hands-on construction experience and equips students with the necessary skills to continue building in the future. Under the guidance of skilled professionals, participants will learn essential skills such as personal safety, concrete/rebar work, soldering, pipe bending, BIM, heavy equipment operation, framing/woodworking, roofing and painting, while also exploring career opportunities.

Throughout the program, students will engage in various interactive projects, such as wiring lamps, pouring concrete stepping stones, and building doghouses, which they will donate to the local community. Inspired by Rosendin’s participation in the national Camp NAWIC, TRF Camp Build provides students with a safe environment to explore different career paths in construction and gain practical learning experience.

The TRF Camp Build program will take place at the following locations and dates:

  • May 6: Sherman, Texas (Electrical Mini-Camp) @MPS
  • June 5-9: Gallatin, Tenn. @Rosendin
  • June 10: Anaheim, Calif. (Electrical Mini-Camp) @Rosendin
  • June 19-23: Tempe, Ariz. @Rosendin
  • July 24-28: Austin, Texas @Austin Electrical Training Alliance

The deadline to apply for TRF Camp Build is March 31. To learn more, visit therosendinfoundation.org/camp-build

    Rosendin is committed to giving back to the communities where we work and live. Our Texas team was recently honored at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post of Leander, Texas Annual Dinner for contributing to the Texas Pumpkin Fest.

    The annual event features exciting attractions, local vendors, and a mini carnival. Most importantly, it raises close to $50,000 annually for its cause. In 2024, the Post transitioned from using portable generators at the event to traditional cord and plug-type distribution. Rosendin's engineers and electricians graciously volunteered their time to help design and execute this change for a successful event.

    Thank you to our Texas team and Jeffery Johanson, Senior Project Manager and VFW member, for spearheading this effort and living our core values.
