DACkids Summer Camp

Delve your child into the fascinating realm of architecture with DACkids Summer Camp. This isn't your typical run-around-the-woods summer experience. Stretching over five wondrous days, young minds are immersed in the captivating world of urban planning and structural design. Guided by skilled architects and keen-eyed designers, this camp offers a wholesome glimpse into city blueprints and towering structures. The camp begins with fundamentals of architecture, swiftly transitioning into finer components like design processes and engineering aspects. Children are not just cubicle-bound; walking tours and enlightening field excursions are on the cards as well. With the camp culminating in a family exhibit of final projects, it's an exciting journey bound to make a lasting impression. Imagine turning the sprawling grasslands of Central Park or the structured magnificence of the National Mall into your playground, tapping into the core principles of urban planning to orchestrate a city park of their own. The childhood reverie of crafting magnificent structures is turned into reality at DACkids, where children approach a fictional site map armed with their vision and simple materials, creating everyday civic spaces like museums and public monuments. But this engaging initiative is far from being just about cement and steel. DACkids emphasizes the humanizing aspects of architecture too, spotlighting the fact that our built environment is also a reflection of our societal values and communal ethos. In its essence, DACkids Summer Camp is an immersive platform where children can architect their creativity, one brick at a time.
