I want
S’MORE PLEASE
My first s’mores experience was straight out of a bad, summer-camp movie. I went to a six-week sleep-away camp for four summers in a row, and I treasure every memory from those mosquito-infested, zit crusted, body-image-issue-filled summers. S’mores are my last connection. I would love for you to use this Call for Proposals to create a camp experience of your very own…
Check out this Call for Proposals for this year’s large scale Projects for Beam Camp. You supply the plan and vision. They will supply 100+ energetic campers and staff and 700+ acres of forest, mountain and lakes as studio, canvas and workshop. Submit your proposal today to be one of Beam’s 2012 Project Masters…
*Editor’s note: I am IN LOVE with this Call. To heck with being a Project Master… I want to be one of the KIDS that get to go to this camp. I don’t know if I can think big enough to submit a Proposal, but I am certainly going to try…
CALL for PROPOSALS:
Beam Camp Projects
Beam Camp is a 8-week summer program comprised of two sessions for kids aged 7-17 in Strafford, NH. Beam Campers cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design and the creative process. They transform ideas into artifacts and personal achievement into community success.
Teams of campers work on different aspects of the Project each morning. In the afternoons, they participate in unique, in-depth, hands-on explorations in the arts, sciences, athletic or cultural fields.
Every year Beam commissions unique large-scale collaborative Projects that serve as centerpieces of each Beam session.
Their Project Management Team work with the Project Masters to “translate” the Project blueprint into the camp context.
Beam Campers and Staff work together to make the Project happen. Projects can range from the conceptual to the structural.
