Camp Invention – what a fun way for your child to explore history, math, science and the arts. This program, offered to children in the first through sixth grades, teaches kids to work together, use their imaginations and be creative in solving problems.

Local educators teach these hands-on classes. Each camp is one week in length, with children completing five different areas of learning.

In addition, there are two different themes to Camp Invention, Create and Encounter.

Children participating in the Create camps let their imaginations run wild as they transform into car engineers, roller coaster designers and space explorers.

On Planet Zak, children are asked to solve problems relating to science fiction stories they are told.

Here, they learn six steps to solving problems and how to incorporate this into everyday life. During spills and chills each child is transformed into an engineer and challenged to use their imaginations while designing safety features for products like skateboards, crash cars and more!

Then it’s on to the classroom theme park where children uncover the physics of roller coasters and design their own scream machine. Other activities include creating your own game and taking apart household items, only to learn how to improve upon them.

During the Encounter Program, kids take off deep into the ocean and explore the underwater world and the depth of the earth. Here kids create boats, help an underwater team collect samples and more. This module is all about using your brain power to solve problems and uncover treasures. Children are also challenged to develop new carnival games using math and probability.

If your child is interested in math, science and problem solving, Camp Invention is the perfect outlet for them to challenge and be challenged.
