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. Together, campers, skilled architects and experienced builders will design, build and deliver a playhouse to a local direct service agency.
We believe that imaginative play is essential to children’s development and is a common denominator that links all children, regardless of background or access. Leveraging SPUR’s relationships with service agencies, campers will support children’s imaginative play for years to come with a gift of a unique, custom-designed playhouse.
InSPURation at Tower is a collaboration between SPUR, a Marblehead-based community service organization and Summer at Tower. Campers will be provided an exciting platform from which to learn and serve - igniting a passion for volunteerism and developing character and confidence.
