Kit Bashing
Hey, creative friends! Are you ready to unleash your inner artist? Join us for a Kit Bashing Sculptural Session at Chamizal National Memorial!
What’s kit bashing, you ask? It’s all about taking different model kits and deconstructing them to create something totally unique! In this case, we will have an experienced kit basher (Angel Cabrales) lead us in making sculptures based off musical themes!
We have a variety of volunteer positions available to make National Park Week a success. Volunteer opportunities are being added, so check for future updates. We hope you'll join us!
