Parents and guardians will receive step-by-step instructions in order to best support their camper.

All camps include:

  • All required materials and resources (e.g. art supplies, books, etc.)
  • Materials will be available for contactless pick-up or shipped for an additional fee. See architecture.org/camp-info for more details.
