Summer Camp

FEBRUARY 07 – MARCH 07, 2009

That’s right – summer camp started early this year. Transformer organized a month long series of fun, educational, invigorating, inspiring, heart-felt, and heart-healthy programs for everyone who could fit into our space to enjoy for free.



Whether you are interested in science camp, rock & roll fantasy camp, dance camp, or just straight up campy-ness – Summer Camp offered something for you. Collaborating with artists, scientists, poets, musicians, story-tellers, and many others, Summer Camp at Transformer involved a diverse cross-section of DC creators and thinkers.

Special thanks to Scion for their support of Summer Camp!
