How to learn woodworking skills

I was thinking that I would like to have my boys learn some general woodworking skills. Sort of like shop classes in public school. We don’t have room for a woodworking shop in our current location.
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on classes or other ways to learn these skills in the Columbus area.

I have a friend in the construction business who has volunteered to help teach the boys once we get a schedule worked out.
In the meantime I found a book from the library that looks like it will be a great curriculum for woodworking skills. They don’t build any useful projects, but they do learn the necessary skills. It’s called “Woodshop for Kids” by Jack McKee.
I got the idea from there to build the kids their one workbench. We are putting the finishing touches on it now. I put wheels on 2 of the legs so we can move it out of the way in the garage when not in use. They already learned quite a bit just with that project.
