Teen Summer Camp: Get Built

July 13–17, 9am–3pm (5-day camp). Recommended for ages 14–18. Ever wonder what a construction manager does? Or how creative an architect can really be? Come to CAF and explore ACED (Architecture, Construction, Engineering, Design) fields through site visits and tours hosted by professionals. During these tours, students will work in teams and learn exactly what goes into making a building and what it takes to for something to GET BUILT.

Camps are limited to 16 participants. Campers should wear comfortable clothes appropriate for doing arts and crafts and bring a lunch, water bottle and hat. All campers will go outside each day and explore the Chicago Loop. Snacks and materials will be provided. Each camp will culminate with a showcase for family and friends the last 90 minutes of camp on the last day. Cancellations made more than 5 days in advance of the camp are eligible for a full refund. Refunds can be made by calling 312.922.TOUR (8687) or emailing tickets@architecture.org.

CAF Summer Camps invite campers ages 7-18 to explore the built environment as they learn first-hand why design matters. Camps inspire teamwork and creative problem-solving, build self-confidence and visual thinking and give participants the opportunity to communicate ideas using a variety of media.
