    Camp Invention is a nationally recognized program focused on creativity, innovation and the spirit of invention. The weeklong STEM program provides inquiry-based activities that give rising 1st through 6th grade students the opportunity to accomplish goals while solidifying teamwork skills. Students complete a project per day and become familiar with well-known patent holders through recorded video messages from National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees and Collegiate Inventors Competition Finalists.  

    Introducing our 2023 program, Wonder!

    Give your young innovator an inspiring, action-packed summer adventure! All-new, hands-on challenges will spark their curiosity and build their confidence as they jump into limitless STEM fun with opportunities to imagine, plan, experiment and create. Read more about what your camper will do each day at camp:

    PROBLEM SOLVING  
    Campers explore physics, design engineering and art as they build their own mini skate park, create DIY riders, personalize their mini skateboards and try out challenging features like ramps, bowls, jumps and rails.
     
    CREATIVITY  
    To create an epic celebration, campers become event planners who engineer light-up party hats, use the science of color to create a bubble art banner and invent a Party Assistant to help bring their plans to life.
     
    PERSISTENCE  
    Campers transform their own robot into a one-of-a-kind animatronic stuffie, and then use inspiration from nature and the power of intellectual property to protect their creation from an idea-stealing Copy Cat.
     
    ENTREPRENEURSHIP  
    Ideas pop up as campers launch their own pop-up business, make smart financial decisions, and use entrepreneurship skills and creative strategies to attract customers with the ultimate pop-up event.
