TFA CAMP ARCHITECTURE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where will TFA Architecture Camp take place?
TFA Architecture Camp will take place at TFA’s Center for Architecture and Design at 633 S. Boston Ave in downtown Tulsa. Because TFA is located withing a short walking distance to some of Tulsa’s most notable architecture, camp curriculum will include walking field trips to view the interiors and exteriors of notable Tulsa buildings. Campers will be accompanied by a minimum of two adults while walking downtown.
What is your enrollment limit?
Because we are committed to maintaining camp sizes that offer individualized instruction and allow students plenty of time to work, camps are limited to 15 enrollees per week with two adults. If your child is interested in attending architecture camp, we suggest registering sooner rather than later because we expect camps slots to fill up fast.
Do you offer scholarships?
We do have a limited number of need based scholarships for students who attend Tulsa Public Schools. Please email us at [email protected] to apply.
What grades do your camps serve?
This year, our camps are exclusively for students entering grades 3-6.

Unfortunately, TFA is not equipped to offer before and after care for Summer 2025 camps.
Are lunches and snacks provided?
We ask that students bring a non-perishable sack lunch each day that does not contain peanuts or peanut products. Afternoon snacks such as individually packaged goldfish crackers and veggie straws, etc. will be provided by TFA each day. *You will be able to indicate allergies and other dietary needs as part of camp enrollment paperwork.
What should my child wear to camp?
We recommend that campers wear cool and comfortable clothes that can get a little messy. Campers will be spending time indoors in an air-conditioned environment as well as outdoor exploring downtown Tulsa architecture. Students will also be using a variety of materials to construct their projects. We recommend that students wear sunscreen daily so they are protected when outdoors.
Is there anything my child needs to bring to camp each day?
We ask that your child bring a peanut free sack lunch and a refillable water bottle to camp each day. If your child does not like goldfish crackers or veggie straws, you may also pack a peanut free snack of your child’s preference.
How will pick up/drop off work?
Caregivers should plan to arrive 10 minutes early each day to sign campers in. All children should be walked inside the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture Center for Architecture and Design (633 S. Boston Ave) to be signed in by their caregivers. Pick up will occur each day inside the Center for Architecture and Design. Anyone picking up a child will be asked to verify their identity by showing their state-issued ID or driver’s license the first time they pick up.
Can someone besides me pick my child up from camp?
You may indicate who you would like to pick your child up when completing camp paperwork. Anyone picking up a child will be required to verify their identity by showing a state-issued ID or driver’s license the first time they pick up.
What if my child needs to take Medic*tion during the day?
Please bring your child’s Medic*tion in a plastic bag, labeled with your child’s first and last name. Medic*tion will be stored in a locked cabinet and TFA staff will administer Medic*tion per your instructions. Please note that TFA does not have a nurse onsite to administer Medic*tion.
Do you offer refunds?
Refunds are only offered if TFA has to cancel camp due to unforeseen circumstances. Exchanges may be possible if there is a camp the following week with open enrollment.
