Living Huntington Camps + Programs Showcase 2024
At Beam Camp, youth aged 9-17 and staff learn to make their ideas a reality. Through fine and manual arts, technology, and collaboration, Beam Campers cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design, and the creative process.
We have a fully equipped woodshop, metal shop, fabrication lab, and an arts and craft barn ready for ceramics, sewing, painting and more. Campers spend a good portion of their day in those shops and making their own self-designed projects known as Independent Work projects. At both our two-week and four-week camp sessions, we also invite practicing artists to lead workshops that we call Domains, during which they share their artistic practices, trades, and hobbies with campers.
In addition to Independent Work and Domains, each session we build something that has never been built before. Campers and staff collaborate on our Big Project, which we commission through an annual international call for proposals. A team of Beam staff, former Campers, and community members chose a unique, large-scale project from the 91 ideas submitted this year by architects, artists, and big thinkers from all over the world. The Big Project is one of the few elements of camp in which every camper has a stake, and we share in the responsibility and the pride and joy of completing it each summer.
To learn more about Beam Camp and hear about our Big Project announcement, email brett@beamcenter.org or pearl@beamcenter.org, or visit our website www.beamcamp.org.
