Summer Camp at the Guild 2026: Our Town
What if kids were in charge? This summer, the Guild transforms into a city planning crew run entirely by youth! From the architecture of the skyline to the laws of the land, our campers are the lead architects, mayors, and visionaries. Together, they will build a collaborative cardboard installation that imagines what a community for kids, by kids might look like.
The Master Blueprint
This camp will focus on installation as an artform. Each group will use cardboard, mixed media, and 3D engineering to expand this growing masterpiece.
Registration is based on age going into the 2026-2027 school year.
