PROJECT IDEA SCOPE
| Take a look at our first six Beam Projects . Think about how your Project will introduce Beam to new materials, media, techniques, tools, methods and concepts.
| Each camp session is 24 days long, with six, three hour work days per week. Projects should therefore be of a scale large enough to busy 108 campers supervised by 20+ adults for approximately fifty hours.
| Project Ideas should be big and result in a finished, spectacular product.
| You and/or your team should be able to tell us exactly how a group of adults would execute the kind of idea you propose. Our expertise is “translating” Project Ideas into the Beam context, but you must be the expert in the field(s) involved in executing your proposal.
| Your idea should take advantage of Beam’s outdoor space and rural location, but it need not be about camp or children or nature.
