Camp Invention popular
CAMP INVENTION is a fun-filled adventure fostering inventive-thinking skills, science literacy, history and the arts in four activity-oriented modules created for children entering grades 1-6 (current K-5th graders). Directed and taught by local teachers, children are challenged to identify solutions to real-world problems and are immersed in challenges that draw upon their sense of curiosity. In the Envision program, children travel to a faux-island called Magnetropolis ™ via hand-crafted upcycled ships and build balloon bursting machines. It is learning disguised as fun! A monthly installment plan is available if the child is registered by March 30, 2012.
Camp Activities: Academics • Nature Studies • Science
