Chicago - June 23-July 2 - A sleep away summer camp where all the counselors are good-ass designers and nobody has to bathe in a lake!
Camp Firebelly is intense, but not actually in tents. We're looking for the most talented + brightest college design students (or graduates of less than one year) to join us for the first-ever Camp Firebelly design charrette: 2 weeks of intensive collaboration with an awesome nonprofit client to address a social justice issue, strategize + design the solution and see it all the way through to print.
Our friends Mike Perry + Delicious Design League will be coming through to lend a hand, as well as a few more secret guests. There'll also be several side missions like field trips and workshops....applications due May 23rd.
