Carving Children’s Character
The Slöyd Experience is a unique and innovative nonprofit organization based in Louisville, Colorado, dedicated to providing an authentic, educational experience to youth.
The Program
Discover the Slöyd Experience, an engaging woodworking program tailored for students aged 6-14, designed to foster character development during their formative years.
The History
Slöyd is a historical Scandinavian method of education that used woodworking to develop character in children. Still utilized today in some of the highest performing schools around the globe, key elements of the original Theory of Educational Sloyd by Otto Salomon have been replicated and cited in our offering.
“Slöyd, properly taught, will be found to supply an educational value not furnished by the subjects usually taught in schools, and in that sense, we regard its introduction as necessary.”
— Otto Salomon
Help make the Slöyd Experience as accessible and inclusive as possible in communities around the country.
