At Design for the Outdoors, campers ages 13-18 will explore how fashion, function, and sustainability come together in designing apparel and accessories for the outdoors. Through hands-on projects, industry tours, field inspiration, and creative design challenges, campers will translate inspiration, performance needs, and sustainable design principles (such as circularity, material innovation, and waste reduction) into wearable innovation. This camp offers an introduction to the world of outdoor apparel and accessories and a great head start for students considering college majors or careers in fashion, outdoor products, design, or sustainability. Campers will present their final projects at a celebratory end-of-week open house. This summer program is offered June 22-26 at CSU Spur in Denver. Cost is $350 per camper (lunch and materials included).

A limited number of full scholarships* are available for students who live or attend school in the 80216 zip code. A limited number of partial scholarships for 25% off are also available for those who work at CSU or are affiliated with a CSU Spur partner organization.
