Architecture (Virtual & In-Person Hybrid) Camp - FILLED
Architecture Camp (Virtual & In-Person Hybrid Camp)
July 6 - 10 (Monday – Friday)

Designed for children ages 8-13. $45 for members; $50 for nonmembers ($5 discount if registered before June 15)

Children will love learning the basics of architecture in this hands-on camp brought into their own home. Campers will tour Oberlin architecture (virtually and in-person), explore building materials, try construction challenges, sketch designs, create mini structures, and envision buildings of the future. Scouts attending this camp will also complete some requirements for Architecture badges. The Oberlin Heritage Center will organize an in-person walking tour of Oberlin Architecture and a lunch outing during a three-hour period on Friday, July 10 from 9:00am-12:00pm (weather permitting). Children must bring appropriate outdoor attire for walking, a mask, water bottle, and lunch.

Please note that due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the structure of this camp has changed from a primarily in-person camp to a mostly virtual one. We will provide pre-assembled material and activity packages for families to pick up in advance of the camp. Activities and lessons will be administered through live online platforms and pre-recorded videos. Children will need access to a computer, tablet, or smart phone for approximately 1-2 hours each day. The Oberlin Heritage Center will organize an in-person walking tour of Oberlin Architecture and a lunch outing during a three-hour period on Friday, July 10 from 9:00am-12:00pm (weather permitting). Children must bring appropriate outdoor attire for walking, a mask, water bottle, and lunch.
