Elevate! 

Camp Invention is a high-energy, hands-on STEM camp. Your child will love what's in store for this year:

Using teamwork and problem-solving skills, children protect the Earth's ecosystems. Inspiring activities include competing in zipline races, exploring energy conservation, eliminating pollution and helping wildlife in habitats across the country.

INNOVATION

Campers discover and explore the great inventors behind their favorite sports, then apply their own ingenuity and design thinking. They trade inventor playing cards, create and play their own high-energy hover-ball games, and design and build the ultimate sports complex.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Children learn the value of their creativity as they bring their biggest ideas to life. To become successful entrepreneurs, they create sketches, build prototypes, design logos and find out how to market their products while protecting their intellectual property.

STEM APPLICATION

Imaginations soar as children learn about flight with paper planes, gliders, rockets, heliballs and hand-copters. They build a cityscape out of upcycled materials, navigate planes through a storm and take apart a robot they'll bring home at the end of the program.
