16th Annual Masonry Camp

Offered by the International Masonry Institute (IMI)

​

Masonry Camp is a nationally recognized program created to improve communication between the design and construction industry.  Over the course of a week, young designers and craftworkers take part in collaborative hands-on educational activities that explore materials, details, and design trends.  Participants work in teams to provide a solution for a specific design charrette and produce a mock-up of their concept.  Training instructors from the International Masonry Training and Education Foundation (IMTEF) and technical staff from IMI serve as session leaders.  All costs related to this program are paid for by IMI and IMTEF as our investment in the future of good masonry design and construction. Attached is a pdf that will help paint a better picture of the program.
