Come build with us this summer! SPUR is partnering with the Tower School to offer Camp InSPURation this summer, July 29-August 9. Open to ages 10-16, the two week camp will give kids the opportunity to work with local architects and builders to construct, customize and deliver a playhouse for Children’s Friend and Family Services in Salem for client use and therapeutic purposes. 


Camp InSPURation at Tower empowers young teens to realize their potential to positively impact the lives of children in the community while developing architectural and building skills, critical thinking, project planning and leadership abilities. 


Campers will be provided an exciting platform from which to learn and serve - igniting a passion for volunteerism and developing character and confidence.
