Each year the Canadian Woodcarving Championship has 2 Youth Competitions. The total prizes, for these competitions, total about $750. In spite of this the number of entries has been disappointing, therefore the CWC Youth Program has been initiated as follows.
Any Youth who wishes to learn “The Art of Woodcarving” can, with the help of a parent or other adult, contact one of the carving clubs listed here and arrange to attend their regular meetings and receive free carving instructions. An adult must accompany and be responsible for the youth. Arrangements for carving tools, material and a carving subject are to be made with the club contacted.

It is our hope that the adults will encourage the Youths
to participate and to enter their creations in the 2006 Canadian Woodcarving Championship as well as other local competitions. We would like to hear from those who take advantage of this program.
