For over twenty years, our summer camp academy has fostered creativity, critical thinking and visual communication\u2014all essential to an architectural education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our virtual camp is ideal for students in grades 9-12, including new high school graduates, who are interested in architecture, design and 3D design technologies. Guided by faculty and graduate students, participants will be presented with situations for which they will design an architectural solution. They’ll learn how to communicate their design ideas through models, drawings, text and verbal presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the final day of camp, families are invited to an optional in-person visit to Milwaukee. You’ll tour the school, connect with faculty, and experience our city’s iconic architectural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
