PROGRAMS

Up to three (3) of the following programs will be offered during each session of campMODA 2010:

Lego
Campers will use Lego Building Systems to explore the relationship and interdependency of form, function, and special relationships. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the expense of the Lego-brand materials, a $60 materials fee will be needed for any camper wishing to keep their creations at the end of the week-long session.

EnviroCoke
Using materials provided by The Coca-Cola Company, campers will create designs using repurposed materials, allowing them to explore alternative uses for existing materials.

“Cool Bead”/Jewelry-making
Campers will work with various media—beads, colored thread, wire, etc.—to design and fabricate both gender-specific and unisex jewelry.

PLEASE NOTE: Based on demand, all programs may NOT be available all weeks. Should the program requested for your choice of session(s) not meet a minimum enrollment, you will be contacted immediately.
