Spark New Ideas at the All-New 2026 Camp Invention at Avon Heritage Elementary School, Ohio
For over 35 years, the National Inventors Hall of Fame® has brought hands-on STEM experiences to K-6 students across the country through our flagship summer program, Camp Invention®. This weeklong camp sparks creativity and boosts confidence as campers tackle fun STEM challenges inspired by real-world inventors.
This nationally acclaimed program is full of open-ended, hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering and more! Each year, Camp Invention delivers an all-new program to ignite the spirit of innovation. As campers collaborate to take on fun, hands-on challenges, they uncover their potential to become creators, innovators and entrepreneurs while building persistence and creative problem-solving skills. In our all-new 2026 program, Spark, campers explore everything from adorable robotic capybaras to inspiring space exploration in four dynamic experiences.
Fur-ensics™
Campers sharpen their detective skills and team up with their very own robotic capybara to investigate a series of mischievous pranks. After exploring the inner mechanics of their capybara, children build sleuthing gadgets to support their epic animal investigation. From animal tracks to DNA and fingerprints, children practice persistence and creative problem-solving as they collect curious clues and conduct hands-on forensic science techniques to solve an animal mystery.
Make Waves™
Surf’s up! Campers dive into the exciting world of entrepreneurship and catch their first big break. Inspired by National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductee Tom Blake and his surfboard innovations, children build confidence as they splash into hands-on physics experiments, paddle their way through salty challenges and pitch their prototypes to hook investors. As they transform inventions into popular products, campers design an innovative billboard boat to “make waves” in the market with ocean advertising.
The Infringers™
Campers spark their innovative superpowers and team up with the Innovation Force™ – National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees – to identify and solve challenges in their community and around the world. Exploring innovative security tools, from reCAPTCHA to iris recognition, children miniaturize top-secret inventions, create a wearable cryptography device and learn how to safeguard their designs through intellectual property against the Infringers, who are duplicating inventions!
Space Morphers™
Children stretch their imagination and launch a mission to transform a new planet’s atmosphere, terrain and ecosystem for future habitation. Igniting their creativity, campers build a DIY space rocket and experiment with trajectory. After a high-energy Rover Race to collect important data and samples, they design and build inventions for navigating the intense conditions of their planet. In their space lab, campers make new discoveries and record observations as they hatch an animal egg and grow a dazzling crystal tree.

This program is excellent!! My oldest daughter loves to volunteer after many years of attending. My youngest attended for the first time this year and had a great time! The activities are high level stem but also geared to their age range. This camp is something my kids talk about all year and can’t wait to go back!
they love making new projects they did start to finish, as well as connecting with classmates
Our son enjoys Camp Invention so much, we’re signing him for a 3rd year.
Our daughter loved this program. She loves building things and showing them off and she had fun with her friends. She will be back!
My kids were hesitant to try something new. They came home every day so excited to share what they did and couldn’t wait to go back the next day. 10/10 recommend to others and will definitely do this again!
My kids love to build and this program was perfect for their creative monds
My kids have loved it each every year.
My daughter enjoyed her camp experience! She loves to upcycle and this camp’s encouragement was welcomed!
My child has spent a good part of this summer out in the garage with me. So far. We have been working on everything from his little brother’s power Wheels to their razor scooters, giving them a little more juice. It’s been exciting watching my kid want to do these things and be very interested in them.
My child continues to learn new things each day and is excited to go back for more!
Math and reading are a lot of memorizing this invention camp Allowed them to experience a more creative hands on build it yourself inventions. The pride in their work was amazing showing off to family and a few friends l
Each day my child came home with a positive outlook and a story to share. He loved how the new inventions created this year!
Both of my children have looked forward to Camp Invention each summer because of the great experiences they had at Camp Invention in the past!
my son was a little hesitant at first because he thought it was going to be too young (he tends to think he is too smart haha) He was instantly challenged with new concepts, inventions and he surprised himself with what he created, and he had a great time!
