Camp Invention

Camp InventionĀ® is a weeklong summer adventure with activities that help you explore the connections between science, technology, engineering and innovation.

Camp InventionĀ® is an exciting summer enrichment program that provides children with opportunities to bring their biggest ideas to life while developing essential 21st-century skills. Throughout the week, children rotate through hands-on STEM activities that encourage them to collaborate, build confidence and persistence, and invent creative solutions to real-world problems. Qualified local educators facilitate the experience and enthusiastic high school students serve as Leadership Interns.

Rising kindergarten through 6th graders are eligible.
