What to Look for When Planning Your Summer
While parents have always had many things to consider when deciding on a summer program for their child, this year, the COVID-19 pandemic has made this process even more difficult. From choosing between an in-person or at-home format to ensuring that the program is safe and hygienic, families should choose an opportunity that works best for them.
In-Person and At-Home Options
Because each family’s situation is different, a summer learning program should give parents options – whether they feel more comfortable having their kids engage in person or at home. The weeklong Camp Invention® program is available in both in-person and at-home formats and offers engaging hands-on experiences in either format. At-home participants are invited to join live coaching sessions or enjoy a screen-free, self-led experience.
Flexibility
In our current unpredictable climate, it is completely understandable that parents might change their minds about the format they want for their child’s summer program. With Camp Invention’s new Peace of Mind Promise, families can secure their spot today and finalize their experience format six weeks before the start of their camp. We’ll even send you a reminder as your program gets closer!
Unique Experiences
For at-home program participants, it’s essential to offer imaginative activities that reach far beyond what families might expect from a typical distance learning experience. Camp Invention At Home is designed to be an active experience and includes opportunities throughout the day to break away from the computer screen and explore. Unique to this format, we also provide special tools, including a Maker Mat, customizable Pegboard and wearable Toolbelt, that give children the ability to create their own personal inventing space.
Health and Safety
It has never been more important to choose programs you can trust with your child’s health and safety. Camp Invention has always maintained the highest standards, providing hand sanitizer at all our in-person programs and ensuring that children wash their hands with antibacterial soap frequently throughout the day. As we all work together to prevent the spread of COVID-19, our program sites also adhere to state guidelines including social distancing measures.
Exciting, Tested Activities
It’s crucial that summer programs keep kids engaged by giving them new activities, experiences and concepts to explore. For over 30 years Camp Invention has inspired millions of children nationwide through hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programming. Each summer’s curriculum is different from the one that came before it, and our team of education experts spend a combined 20 months developing, testing and piloting each new program to ensure its quality.
