The Big Project
Every session our campers and staff build a unique and spectacular large-scale collaborative Project that serves as the centerpiece of the Beam experience. Projects are chosen from dozens of proposals by artists, architects, and big thinkers in our annual international design competition.
Depending on the proposals we receive, the project(s) chosen may span the course of the summer offering a chance for campers in each session to get their hands on one shared project, or we may choose a distinct project for each standalone session. Whichever the case, we design our program to ensure that campers in any session take part in the completion and celebration of a significant piece of the project’s design.
Only campers who attend our full four-week session engage in the full, exhilarating experience of the Project Crunch during which our older campers are given the challenge of leading waves of younger campers in our final project push for the session.
