Get Ready for Your In-Person Camp
Together with friends, your innovator will have the best experience of the summer at Camp Invention! See examples below of resources you might use to prepare, and stay tuned for new versions for next summer's program.

Prepare for Your In-Person 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.

Read Our Daily Newsletters

Once camp starts, you’ll hear plenty of updates about camp from your child, but you can also check back to see what they’ve been up to with our Camp Invention Daily! (If your location is not running the Wonder program, you will receive alternate newsletters from your Director.)

Get Ready for Your At-Home Camp
During an at-home camp program, your child will connect and collaborate with friends to create the best experience of the summer! See examples below of resources you might use to prepare, and stay tuned for new versions for next summer's program.

Prepare for Your At-Home Program

Getting ready for camp is easy because we ship an Innovator’s Toolkit packed with materials straight to your door. When it arrives, your young innovator can use it to set up their very own makerspace! Just be sure to keep all the materials in their respective bags so you’re ready for the first day of camp.
