2025 Summer Design Camp

We Want More Design in Our Summer!

Get ready for an unforgettable summer at MODA! Our design camps are the perfect way for young creators aged 6-18 to dive into hands-on experiences that ignite imagination and inspire innovation. Whether they’re building with LEGO, designing future cities, or transforming Atlanta’s neighborhoods, MODA camps encourage kids and teens to explore the power of design in fun and meaningful ways.

Our Camps Are All About:

  • Hands-On Creativity: Campers work with LEGO bricks, robotics, art supplies, sketching, model-building, and digital tools to bring their ideas to life.

  • Real-World Problem Solving: Each camp takes on exciting design challenges that get campers thinking critically about the world around them.

  • Teamwork & Innovation: Collaboration is key! Campers will build new friendships, work in teams, and grow their skills in creativity and problem-solving.

  • Designing a Better World: At MODA, we believe design can make the world a better place, and our camps inspire young minds to dream big and make an impact.

With a variety of camp themes—from building cities with LEGO to reimagining Atlanta’s landmarks—there’s a MODA camp for every young designer ready to create, innovate, and explore.

Join us for a summer full of creativity, design, and discovery!
