Build a Haunted House

Oct 23rd, 2026

Get ready for a frightfully fun STEAM adventure! In this spooky hands-on workshop, kids ages 7-12 will become architects of the strange and unusual as they design and build their very own haunted house.

Campers will:

Explore creative design ideas inspired by mysterious Halloween spaces.
Sketch and plan eerie rooms like vampire lairs, witch kitchens, ghost hideouts, secret passageways, and monster laboratories.
Build a detailed 3D haunted house model using cardboard, recycled materials, and craft supplies.
Problem-solve like real designers: how can they make their haunted house spooky and structurally strong?

By the end of the workshop, each camper will have a one-of-a-kind haunted house model and a spooky new appreciation for architecture and creative design. No experience needed, just bring your imagination and your Halloween spirit!

Perfect for: Halloween lovers, creative builders, imaginative storytellers, and kids who love spooky fun!
