Parents have much to be excited about when considering Beam Camp for their children. Founded in 2004, Beam Camp has provided 1000+ campers with exciting experiences in creative problem-solving through working with their hands and actively collaborating with others. Campers and staff build a large-scale collaborative project chosen through an annual worldwide design competition, and the projects have been recognized with international media attention and major architecture prizes.
To further their mission, Danny and Brian founded the nonprofit Beam Center in 2011, and in 2015 Brian donated the Beam Camp operation to Beam Center and became its Executive Director. Beam Center now collaborates with 29+ NYC public middle and high schools and its Brooklyn home hosts Apprenticeship and Youth Employment programs.
Beam Camp proudly offers scholarships and tuition assistance for more than 20% of all campers, with the majority of these funds going to students from Beam Center’s New York City youth network. In 2016, Beam Camp refined its summer program to sharpen the focus on skill-building, collaborative challenge, responsibility, and mentorship. Parents can be assured that their children will receive a unique and inspiring experience when they attend Beam Camp.
Every session Beam campers and staff build a unique and spectacular large-scale collaborative Project that serves as the centerpiece of the Beam Camp experience. Projects are chosen from dozens of proposals by artists, architects, and other big thinkers in our annual international Open Call and design competition.
