Design Camp
This year, we are offering several virtual Design Camp options as well as one in-person Design Camp in Fayetteville with limited enrollment.
What you need to know:
Design Camp offers the chance to learn about the design professions through hands-on projects, virtual tours and other activities created by architecture, landscape architecture and interior design faculty of the Fay Jones School. In the school-guided camps, students have the opportunity to work closely with faculty and collaborate with peers in a fun and creative virtual or studio environment as they explore the design process.
Who can attend:
In-Person Design Camp: students entering 9th — 12th grades (fall 2021)
Virtual Design Camp (School-guided): students entering 8th — 12th grades (fall 2021)
