Not to be underestimated…

Participants work on projects of real utility alongside professionals, immersing themselves in days with very tight schedules.

Over the course of a week, each student completes two projects in two different disciplines with two different instructors. (In the case of Creative Writing and Illustration, students work on two projects within the same discipline.)

Students have only three days to complete a project.

The day is structured with a certain rigor. Among the basic rules: never miss the morning muscle-wake-up session or the dinner call, submit projects on time, and keep common areas tidy.

It will be 14 or 21 intense days. Design in Town is not a summer camp for everyone…

We recommend reading reviews from our former students and their parents to understand what to expect and evaluate whether Design in Town is the right summer camp for you.
