Get matched →Beam Center seeks design proposals for an ambitious public artwork to be realized through collaboration between youth, Beam Camp staff, and the selected designer. Projects will be constructed by a community of more than 100 young people at Beam Camp in July 2026.
Beam Camp is a specialized summer camp for building and collaboration located in Strafford, NH. The award-winning program offers youth ages 9-17 the opportunity to cultivate hands-on skills while exploring innovative thinking, design, problem-solving, and the creative process.
Every year, Beam Camp solicits proposals for unique and spectacular large-scale projects that serve as the centerpiece for the four-week session. The Project Team works with winning designers to translate their vision into a real construction reflecting a high level of craftsmanship and skill by 100 campers and 20+ staff. Projects are always ambitious and technically challenging.
Winning proposals will be selected by a committee composed of Beam Center staff, youth, past project designers, and community members.
Proposals are welcomed from all over the world and from people of any age. Designers are asked to use AI sparingly; the selection committee prefers to see and hear about an idea directly from its human designer(s).
