About This Camp
Imagine shaping the neighborhoods of tomorrow! Design ATL: Neighborhoods of the Future is a dynamic summer camp for teens eager to transform their ideas into vibrant, functional, and inclusive community spaces. Dive into a journey of reimagining urban living, where you’ll design the places that bring people together—from homes and parks to bustling public squares.
Explore what makes neighborhoods thrive: residential areas that feel like home, public spaces that inspire connection, transportation that moves us efficiently, and green zones that nourish both people and the planet. You'll work on hands-on projects, collaborate with other creative minds, and get a real feel for how design shapes the communities where we live, work, and play.
If you’re ready to build a future full of possibility, where every corner of a neighborhood works for everyone, then Design ATL: Neighborhoods of the Future is where you belong this summer!
Campers will learn to:
Learn about the key components of successful neighborhoods, including layout, accessibility, community amenities, and green spaces.
Work on real-world design challenges that focus on creating functional and engaging neighborhoods.
Address issues like walkability, safety, and community integration.
Collaborate with fellow campers on to design new neighborhoods or improve an existing one.
At the end of the week, parents and caregivers are invited for a showcase of the campers’ creations!
What to Bring:
Campers should bring a water bottle, snacks, and lunch.
