Architecture Camp

Session 2: June 9 – June 13, 2025
Session 3: July 7 – July 11, 2025
Rising 11th – 12th Grade
This week-long program is designed to begin with basic concepts and conclude with several architectural design projects. These projects allow the students to display the information they have learned throughout the week. This is a studio focused, project-based camp where students will learn through hands-on experiences. While working each day in the Auburn University School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture building, students engage and learn from the university’s highly qualified professors with the opportunity for individual guidance as well.
Program faculty bring years of experience practicing, teaching and learning. The faculty's diverse background will ensure students receive a broad perspective of the different aspects of design. There will also be camp counselors present at all times with the students to ensure safety and supervision. In addition to their work in the studio, students will experience campus-life on the plains.
