Countdown to Camp

Get excited for the first day of camp! Use the link below to create a paper chain representing the number of days left before your program begins. Your innovator can remove one link each day and as the chain shrinks, the anticipation grows!

Connect With Your Child’s Teacher

Help your child's teacher(s) better understand their learning style by sharing from their time at Camp Invention. Use this personalized letter to help introduce your child to their teacher(s) by adding details about their skills, interests and goals in order to support them in the coming school year.

Get Ready for Your Camp
Together with friends, your innovator will have the best experience of the summer at Camp Invention! Check out the resources below as you prepare for all the fun of your child’s camp program.

Prepare for Your Program

Send your innovator on a scavenger hunt for recyclable items they’ll use for prototyping at camp. You’ll also need to prepare a lunch, drink and snack each day (unless notified otherwise), and be sure to provide any medication information on the first day.
