Camp headquarters is the Knowlton School of Architecture at The Ohio State University, but field trips take us out into the community. Private charter buses are provided for field trips that leave the OSU campus.

The cost of the 3-Day Summer Camp is $75 / camper. Payments are final and non-refundable.

Pick-up and drop-off happen along Ives Drive, on the south side of the Knowlton School of Architecture. While you can’t park on Ives Drive, you can stop briefly for drop-off and pick-up. Camp staff will be outside to greet your camper each morning.

On the first day of camp, we ask parents to park nearby and come in with their camper to meet the Camp Directors and verify paperwork is complete.

On Friday, please park and bring the family to the Student Showcase. We'll have a reception, a student exhibition of the camper's design work, and an awards ceremony.

Visit Tuttle Parking to learn about the nearby garage.

On Wednesday, come inside with your camper to meet the Camp Directors, ask any questions and verify paperwork is complete.

On Friday, family, friends and the design community are invited to a Student Showcase from 5pm-6:30pm. The Showcase includes a reception highlighting student work. It’s the camper’s time to shine!

A detailed schedule will be emailed to parents about a week before camp.

Students will be placed into groups with 4-6 other campers and will be joined by a Camp Volunteer. Camp Volunteers are design professionals, community leaders and college students studying architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, city and regional planning. All Camp Volunteers complete a background check. Camp Volunteers are supervised by a Camp Director who is present throughout camp.

Absolutely not! Our Camp was created to introduce your child to the world of design. Students will participate in a series of hands-on projects, presentations, tours, drawing workshops and model building, in a fun collaborative environment.
