A camp in Central Virginia is working to change the face of the construction industry.
The National Association of Women in Construction's (NAWIC) Richmond branch held a day camp for middle school girls at Henrico's Adult Learning Center in Regency Mall, to teach them the ins and outs of the industry.

According to Volunteer Alison Mullins, only about 11% of roles in the construction industry are filled by women.
