Recycle City is Coming to White Salmon

Every August, the White Salmon Valley Community Library fills up with cardboard tubes, plastic bottles, pom poms, and kids with big ideas. The goal: build a city out of materials that might otherwise be recycled or thrown away.

As they plan and construct, kids naturally bump into STEAM concepts — why a tower tips, how pieces connect, what makes something move. Whether a kid arrives with a detailed plan or just starts gluing things together, the project has room for all kinds of thinkers and makers.

Join us for fun that’s messy, creative, and a little unpredictable. No blueprints required!
