Spark New Ideas at the All-New 2026 Camp Invention at Spry Middle School, New York
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 camp was incredible. I have never seen an educational camp where every kid walks out every nigh with a smile on their face. Great job!
They love to share the products they create and are always excited of the crafts.
Our daughter had so much fun she wanted to go on her actual birthday! She had an absolute blast!
My son has trouble getting excited about summer camps. He would rather just stay home (unfortunately, we work and he can’t stay home over the summer). However, he had a great time at Camp Invention and has already said he wants to sign up again for next year’s camp. This, to me, is a huge success.
My son has gained the confidence to become an inventor and sees all items in and around our home as possibilities to create with. He was engaged the entire camp and made new friends!
My son has been so curious about how things work and comes up with ideas all the time now on how things could be improved to do new and better things. Camp really sparked a huge interest in all of these things for him! And he had a fantastic time!! He’s already asking about next year
My kids loved it, are thinking about new inventions constantly. This program continued to keep them interested in STEM and they are already talking about next year
My kids loved attending Camp Invention. They immediately asked to attend the next summer at the end of day one. They enjoyed seeing classmates, making new friends and being able to create so many cool things. I have one child who is always making things out of recyclable items and this camp really brought her to life.
My child had a wonderful experiance at camp invention – stated he wanted to come to this camp every week and definately return next year!
Really encourages my daughter to think creatively at home-using items around the house to invent/create/use. I also believe it has only increased her love for all things STEM!
They were so excited to show me their projects, and continued to tweak their creations at home! They loved showing their creations to friends and family that came over and explained how they built them.
Our son has always been a creative thinker so this camp seemed like a great fit. He truly enjoyed each day, where with other camps he has not enjoyed himself. He’s already talking about attending next year! The experiences provided gave him more materials and support in putting his creative ideas into actionable realities!
