The Virginia Tech School of Architecture runs Explore Architecture, a design camp for students in grades 9-12, held June 21-27 out of Cowgill and Burchard halls on the Blacksburg campus. Campers can attend as overnight or day campers, or take a virtual session instead of the Blacksburg one. Students get their own desk in the same shared studio space Virginia Tech architecture students use and work through design exercises, lectures, discussions and tutorials, with collaborative tools meant to build community between participants.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact School of Architecture, Virginia Tech directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.
