Elementary students in Toronto interested in design and other creative industries have something to look forward to in August thanks to RAW Design’s free Student Summer Camp.
From August 17 to 21, 2026, participants will have the opportunity to experience a week of hands-on creativity, design challenges, field trips, and discussions about how the world is shaped by design.
This camp is built for students in grades 6 to 12 who are curious about architecture, design, and the creative industries. Whether they’re just discovering design or dreaming of becoming an architect, it aims to help them build skills, confidence, and connections.
The camp runs as a week-long experience, blending creative exploration with real-world exposure. Each day combines making, learning, and collaboration, encouraging students to think critically, work as a team, and express their ideas with confidence.
Participants will engage in model making and sketching, explore foundational design tools and design challenges that build problem-solving and storytelling skills, participate in lectures and discussions with practicing architects and artists, and take part in site visits and tours to architectural landmarks, construction sites, and design studios.
Together, these experiences aim to demystify the profession and reveal the wide range of pathways within design.
