Blending Work with Fun
Area children and young teens are once again getting the chance to exercise their imaginations and creativity in a unique way this summer at the Andrews University’s Renaissance Kids Summer Architecture Program.
It’s certainly been a worthwhile experience for a Benton Harbor family. Gloria Cleveland is sending her two grandchildren to the camp this summer. "They come home and tell us what they’ve been working on, it’s a good exposure for them," she said. "They look forward to learning new things."
This year’s focus is a little different than in past years, with students building stage sets to be used by the Twin City Players. Students are learning how use the knowledge they gain about perspective and other design elements to help create the theatrical props. They also can blend in their imagination and creativity into their work.
Past projects have been more strictly architectural in nature, camp Director Mark Moreno said. Moreno is an architecture professor at Andrews University and started the Renaissance Kids camps in an effort to introduce children and youth to architecture, art and design. This is the camp’s ninth consecutive year, and 10th year overall dating back to 1997.
