HERE’S WHAT AN ACTION-PACKED DAY LOOKS LIKE WITH CAMP INVENTION

A.M. BASE CAMP

Drop off your camper with qualified local educators and Camp Invention
Leadership Interns, and they’ll start each day with games that encourage
teamwork and spark creativity.

MORNING EXPERIENCES

Campers take on two creative experiences and enjoy the healthy snacks they’ve
brought to help keep their minds moving.

GAMES & LUNCH

Half of the campers head outside — or to the gym — to play action-packed games
while the other campers eat the lunch they’ve packed. Then they switch!

AFTERNOON EXPERIENCES

Time for two more experiences that will introduce your child to world-changing
inventors, keep them active, and encourage their curiosity and creative
thinking.

P.M. BASE CAMP

The day wraps up as campers wind down with problem-solving games. When you sign
out your camper, they’ll tell you just how much fun they had at Camp Invention!

BEYOND CAMP

The learning doesn’t end when camp is over! While Camp Invention builds
long-term skills and traits like creative problem solving, collaboration and
confidence, it is also proven to contribute to better school attendance, a
higher GPA and improved test scores.

Beyond Camp
Discover our new 2024 Camp Invention program, Illuminate

This year’s brand-new program will illuminate imaginations, inspire curiosity
and help kids build essential STEM (science, technology, engineering and
mathematics) skills through collaboration and problem solving. Campers explore
hands-on challenges and open-ended adventures designed to unlock creativity and
help them shine their brightest!

Be an Innovative All-Star With In the Game™

As children create their own light-up game board, they team up to tackle
athletics, design, business and invention! Campers examine the features and
specialized materials of a variety of sports balls, then create their own to use
with their personalized game. They build a brand, create a logo and are
recognized for their creativity by being inducted into the Game of Fame!

Shine Bright With Let’s Glow™

Creativity radiates as campers uncover the science of light through illuminating
inventions and glowing animals. They build persistence as they make a
one-of-a-kind Glow Box, experimenting with different forms of light and
customizing their designs. Through the power of illumination, their ideas shine!

Explore the Earth and Water With Operation: HydroDrop™

Campers embark on an epic global operation to help solve water challenges around
the world! They learn about the role water plays for people and the planet, then
customize a robotic lab-on-wheels to assist in their exploration. They use
problem solving to design engineer inventions that will help create a
crystal-clear future!

Build Big Ideas With Prototyping Studio™

Children star as contestants on a game show where they mold, shape and transform
their ideas into amazing inventions! Using a DIY toolbox and everyday materials,
as well as inspiration from Our Nation’s Greatest Innovators™, they complete a
series of exciting prototyping challenges. While tapping into their imagination,
they discover that invention can happen in any place at any time!
