Join us for an exciting week of urban design, creativity, and community building!

Throughout the week, we'll explore the vital role of neighborhoods in our cities and work together to create inclusive and vibrant communities.

Campers will learn to:

  • Gain insights into the significance of diverse and inclusive neighborhoods.

  • Collaborate with fellow campers to identify and address real challenges in neighborhood design and community facilities.

  • Get hands-on experience with 3D modeling software for urban planning.

  • Engage with guest experts from the fields of urban planning and community development.

  • Campers should bring a water bottle, snacks, and lunch.

  • Campers are welcome to bring their laptops or tablets during the camp. If needed, MODA can provide campers with a laptop.
