Not Your Average Summer Camp

San Francisco based Studio For Urban Projects is putting on a very different kind of summer camp for kids over the next two months. “A Curious Summer” is a series of unique workshops for children between the ages of 7 and 14 that explore a different idea for a week at a time, allowing participants to really dive into and understand the subject. Topics for this summer’s program include: Camera Obscura, Magnetic Fields, Shelter and local farming.

Bryan Welch and Marina McDougall of The Studio For Urban Projects explain:

A Curious Summer is a series of one-of-a-kind workshops driven by the curiosity of your child. We aim to induce wonder and spark enthusiasm for the everyday world around us. We consider play, the mysterious work of the child, to be an advanced and sophisticated endeavor, profoundly central to a child’s individual development and theories about the world. A Curious Summer workshops encourage discovery through free play, tinkering, and imagination.

We will turn the Studio for Urban Projects storefront into a laboratory and point of departure for urban excursions. Each week we will undertake a unique project. At the end of the week kids will share their experience with family and friends in a reception at our storefront that showcases their discoveries.
