In this camp, campers will learn how to maximize space while making eye-catching designs.
Course Overview
Discover How Great Design Shapes the World Around Us
Have you ever wondered how buildings come to life, why certain rooms feel calm and inviting, or how art becomes a bold logo or eye-catching poster? The Graphic and Interior Design Workshop introduces students in grades 5–8 to the creative worlds of architecture, interior design, and graphic design through a week packed with hands-on projects.
Campers explore how designers think—combining imagination with planning, problem-solving, and visual storytelling to create spaces and graphics that feel “just right.”
