DOMAINS

In the second and third week of the session,  Beam Campers choose to explore a new Domain:  in-depth, hands-on, discovery activities in the arts, performance, sciences, athletic or cultural fields (or mash-up of several fields). They explore disciplines, techniques or projects in small groups. Domains pursue learning, making and experimenting with personal goals and products in mind, rather than the Beam Project's single gigantic one.
