Youth Design Camp to create concepts for Peavey Park picnic shelter

What  

This two-day design camp is a unique opportunity for young people to help design a picnic shelter for Peavey Park! Through hands-on activities, they will focus on the potential design for a picnic shelter and learn how an architectural project moves from the idea stage to become a concept, a plan, and finally, an actual built structure.
