In design workshops, participants of each camp work on specific projects that directly benefit the hosting community, e.g. community halls, housing, tourism facilities, masterplans. Following the camp, students continue working on their design concepts with the communities through planning approvals and construction.

The location of the camps changes. The events have had between 20 and 100 participants and typically run over 3–4 days.

The events occur spontaneously without sponsors or funding. Participants sometimes contribute small amount towards common costs such as meals and leftover money is donated to charity.
