About: Camp Invention is a one week summer program where children's creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills are challenged and developed in fun and exciting ways. Our top priority is to inspire future innovators and build their confidence in the natural ability to dream and create. Children are presented with fun, hands-on challenges that encourage creative problem solving, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Camp invention is led by your experienced local educators and new curriculum is introduced each year, inspired by the Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame! 

*There is no baseball/softball for this camp- This camp will follow specific curriculum designed by the National Inventors Hall of Fame. To see the program in action or looking for more details visit: https://www.invent.org/programs/camp-invention

Dates: Monday, June 14 - Friday, June 18

• This camp is in-person camp
• This camp is only 1 week long and you must be able to commit to every day as the curriculum builds each day. This also helps ensure we are good stewards of the sponsorship funds.

Grades: 4th, 5th, and 6th grades only. The max capacity of this camp is 26 students. Open to both boys and girls. 

Lunch: We have applied to Harvesters for their summer meal program. (We hope to be able to provide lunch each day and will confirm our ability to do so as the dates get closer, but in the event we don't have Harvesters please be prepared to send your child with a lunch)
