Beam Camp is a specialized summer camp for building and collaboration located in Strafford, NH. Our 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 of camp. Our Project Team works with the 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, and in many cases our Big Project becomes the world we live in during our time at camp. The themes and questions introduced by our project circulate to all parts of camp and make each Summer at Beam distinctly exciting from the next.. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with our past projects.
