An Innovative STEM Summer Camp Curriculum and More for Grades K-6

“I love that everything was included in the teacher’s guide. I knew I could reference that at any time. I also liked that the kids not only explored, but they had to present their ideas.”

“As a director, it’s fun to get to see kids of all ages really exploring their ideas, and having the opportunity to draw and build and try to create prototypes without the restrictions of state testing, etc.”

“I love the freedom for kids to do whatever they want with the inventions. This opens so many doors for these kids to think outside the box and helps students who may not thrive in the classroom excel.”

“I appreciate the quality curriculum and well-organized materials. Campers have fun while learning! I am a science teacher, and this promotes scientific and engineering processes in an engaging and fun way. ”

“The activities and the skills that they learn at Camp Invention really transfer to the outside world. They’re encouraged to come up with ideas, brainstorm, hypothesize and make mistakes — it’s all part of the learning process! ”

“I always love the curriculum we teach. There hasn’t been a module I haven’t enjoyed. I appreciate that everything is set up for me to present without me having to hunt everything down and plan it all out.”

“Interaction with kids who want to learn is always the best part of teaching. Being able to talk with the kids as they thought through each challenge was easily the best part of camp.”

“I love seeing the innovative and inventive creations campers produce and genuinely enjoy watching the older students step in as leaders and teachers throughout the week of camp. ”

“The most meaningful part is watching the campers step out of their comfort zone, make new friends and gain confidence. The campers who come in the first day hesitant to start are usually the ones who can't wait to come back the next summer.”

“The curriculum is easy to follow, modify (if needed), and teach. It is also very helpful that the supplies for each module are provided so setup is quick and simple. Great hands-on learning program for students!”

“The directions were simple enough for my first-graders to follow along as well as challenging enough to keep my fifth-graders interested. This was extremely meaningful to me because I loved being able to see every student succeed in their own way.”

“Seeing these kids come more excited to be there each day is powerful! Seeing them having those ‘aha!’ moments is the greatest feeling ever!”

“I wish Camp Invention would teach every curricula provider how to pack and organize materials! They do it right.”

“Thanks for a great experience. We felt it had a very positive impact on campers and we, as staff, had a great time too! The resources and support were outstanding!”

“Seeing kids love learning is why I became a teacher. I love to see their excitement and that is something I see daily at Camp Invention.”

“Organization, presentation and ease of use of the program is phenomenal. The kids really get a wonderful variety and exposure to STEM.”

“I was very impressed with the quality of resource guides, videos, materials, packaging, etc. High quality, engaging, very impressive!”

“The organization and ease of implementation was paramount. For someone who has never done Camp Invention it was easy to figure out and implement with fidelity.”

“Students who attend Camp Invention gain more than fun and confidence. They grow valuable life skills, learn about new topics, find their interests, feel accepted and ultimately, have fun!”

“I love how organized and hands on each module is. Everything is laid out nicely for both students and instructors!”

“I love how engaging it is every year, the activities are fun and stimulating, the kids are excited and I enjoy it every summer because it's easy!”

“The materials were of good quality, well labeled, and well organized. The modules included enough variety that kids with many different interests were engaged. I really liked the emphasis on problem solving using real-world challenges.”

“There is so much wonderful support before and during the program. I always feel like I’m giving the students the best opportunity to engage in STEM thinking. The quality of curriculum is outstanding and engaging.”
