Architecture Summer Camp
Penn State Department of Architecture hosts an annual Architecture/Landscape Architecture Summer Camp during the summer. The program provides campers the opportunity to utilize the new facilities of the Penn State School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and be mentored by faculty, alumni and experienced undergraduate students.
Summer Camp is held in July.
The camp’s interactive educational experiences included computer drawing and design exercises, a tour and workshop at a construction site sponsored by Gilbane, an interactive visit to the Center for Sustainability at Penn State, a field trip to Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous houses Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, hands-on building and model-making activities, a visit to the architecture office of L. Robert Kimball & Associates in State College and various lectures, films, campus tours and social events.
The Penn State Architecture Summer Camp provides an opportunity for high school students interested in architecture, landscape architecture, architectural engineering or construction management the opportunity to experience the profession and see firsthand the kinds of activities that take place in a university architectural program.
