At least in Los Angeles, we have already started hitting temperatures over 90 degrees Fahrenheit signaling the coming of summer. For parents, this is often an urgent reminder that the school year will be ending soon and plans need to be in place for the summer. For those already expecting little builders out of their offspring, here are a few summer camp options to tide them over. Even if your child might not be inclined one-day to take up a draft board or become an expert in AutoCAD, these camps offer a valuable learning opportunity for children. In a study, titled 'Design as a Catalyst for Learning,' the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development notes that 'when children are engaged in the process of designing, they are learning to identify needs, frame problems, work collaboratively, explore and appreciate the contexts within which a solution must work, weigh alternatives, and communicate their ideas verbally, graphically, and in three dimensions.'

In other words, teaching architecture to kids has very little to do with actually grooming future architects. Our series, demonstrates many of the transferrable skills learned through architecture. Beyond problem-solving, collaboration, and other analytical skills, these activities help instill a sense of spatial awareness, encourage methods of creative thinking, and allow kids to explore their city in a new way.
As many of these programs offer field trips and focus on the local community, it is a great way for children to strengthen their understanding of and their relationship to the city they live in. Below, we have a list of summer camps around the country that offer architecture related activities to keep kids entertained from the heat.
The majority offer a range of topics catered to age group that explore architecture and design through art and building activities, design challenges, and special site visits and exploration.
Lots of our favorites on this list! Some more that we’ve enjoyed with a toddler: Commonwealth (Oakland Pill Hill/Telegraph) is our family dinner favorite–great food with a lot of toddler-friendly options, great local beers for the grown-ups, and an ever-changing assortment of board books! (The owners have preschoolers; they offer both high chairs and booster seats.) Coach (Grand Lake), Drunken Fish (Auto Row), and Geta (Piedmont Ave) are all solid sushi spots with high chairs and kid-friendly menu options. Grand Lake Kitchen and Kitchen 388 (both on Lower Grand) are great for kids for weekend brunch and open early. Dona Tomas (Temescal), sister restaurant to Tacubaya, also opens at 9:30 for brunch on the weekends and is kid-friendly for all meals (kids’ plate is not listed on the menu but you can order it), with a nice patio. Boot and Shoe (Grand Lake; same owners and similar menu to Pizzaiolo, but without the chickens), Marzano, and Bellanico (both Oakland Glenview) are all very kid-friendly Italian/pizza spots for dinners (go early), and have excellent food and drinks for the adults. Arizmendi (we go to the Oakland Lakeshore location, though there are several others) is super kid-friendly and you can get takeout pizza by the slice and sit outside, which is handy.
