CAMP THEME:
This year’s camp theme is Be a Changemaker: How design transforms our communities. During this camp, students will learn about the benefits of adaptive reuse and how the built environment must evolve with cultural, societal, and environmental changes. They will take on the role of an architect and builder to redesign a structure for their community. By implementing the design process, students will become changemakers! Students will be introduced to technical architecture practices such as drawing, planning, model making and more.

HOW IT WORKS:
The camp is entirely virtual - meaning students can participate from home. To engage in the camp, participants will need a computer, tablet, or other device with access to internet.

Every day, we will email you the digital lesson including hands-on design activities, reading, thinking exercises, and pre-recorded videos. There will also be a live Zoom session every day from 12:30-1:30pm PT. The live sessions are optional but highly recommended so students can meet practicing architects and designers and fully experience the camp content.

DAILY SCHEDULE:

  1. Work through the Daily Lesson PDF that is emailed to you the evening prior to each day of camp
  2. Watch the Pre-recorded Videos
  3. Start on activities in your Student Architect Journal
  4. Join us for a Live Zoom Activity from 12:30-1:30pm PT
  5. Go back to your Student Architect Journal and complete the activities for the day
  6. Complete the Bonus Challenge if you want to do more!

ACCESSING FREE ART SUPPLIES:
We will mail free art supplies to participants located in Oregon who are experiencing financial barriers. Please specify on your registration form if you need supplies sent to you. See the recommended list of art supplies. Supply requests are due by June 7. 

 

SUPPORT THE CAMP:

Participation in the camp is free. We are accepting donations so we can send camp materials to families who have barriers to accessing them. This will allow all children to participate regardless of need.
