R.A.D. Design & Build Camp
A full-week maker camp for ages 9–13 at Seven Peaks School.
Our 2026 season has wrapped up. Summer 2027 details are coming soon.
R.A.D. Design & Build Camp is a full-week maker program for ages 9–13. Campers choose, plan, build, test, and improve real projects. Tool access depends on the project, camper readiness, staffing, supervision, and available equipment. For painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, textiles, and mixed media, compare R.A.D. Art Camp.
Design. Build. Test. Improve.
Project pathways
Campers choose from leveled challenges involving mechanisms, circuits, wood, games, signs, and longer builds.
Readiness-based tools
Access depends on the selected project, instruction, camper readiness, staffing, supervision, and available equipment.
Project choice
Campers can follow different project paths while remaining in one Design & Build program.
A full camp day
Focused build blocks are balanced with outdoor movement, lunch, social time, cleanup, and dismissal.
One program, individual project paths
Ages 9–13
Campers select challenges that fit their interests and current readiness, with Guide support as work becomes more complex.
Campers register for one Design & Build program rather than separate age tracks.
Inside Design & Build
Materials and mechanisms
Projects may use wood, cardboard, hardware, circuits, textiles, and mixed materials based on the selected challenge.
