Every Child Can Invent!
Camp Invention® is a nationally acclaimed summer program where STEM concepts come to life. This program has tapped into kids' natural curiosity since 1990, giving them the opportunity to become innovators through teamwork and immersive, hands-on creative problem-solving.
With four themed modules providing an abundance of materials, this one-of-a-kind program delivers hours of hands-on, high-energy fun! Within each module, children take on a unique set of challenges that build confidence, perseverance and creative problem-solving skills. Educators serve as Coaches, facilitating collaboration, encouraging creativity, and providing step-by-step activity instruction.
This year’s all-new program is designed to inspire confidence and persistence, build essential STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills and improve reading skills. This is all accomplished through collaborative, creative problem-solving activities that offer so much hands-on fun and excitement, kids don’t even realize how much they’re learning!

Be an Innovative All-Star With In the Game™
As children create their own light-up game board, they team up to tackle athletics, design, business and invention! Campers examine the features and specialized materials of a variety of sports balls, then create their own to use with their personalized game. They build a brand, create a logo and are recognized for their creativity by being inducted into the Game of Fame! |
Shine Bright With Let’s Glow™
Creativity radiates as campers uncover the science of light through illuminating inventions and glowing animals. They build persistence as they make a one-of-a-kind Glow Box, experimenting with different forms of light and customizing their designs. Through the power of illumination, their ideas shine! |
Explore the Earth and Water With Operation: HydroDrop™
Campers embark on an epic global operation to help solve water challenges around the world! They learn about the role water plays for people and the planet, then customize a robotic lab-on-wheels to assist in their exploration. They use problem solving to design engineer inventions that will help create a crystal-clear future! |
Build Big Ideas With Prototyping Studio™
Children star as contestants on a game show where they mold, shape and transform their ideas into amazing inventions! Using a DIY toolbox and everyday materials, as well as inspiration from Our Nation’s Greatest Innovators™, they complete a series of exciting prototyping challenges. While tapping into their imagination, they discover that invention can happen in any place at any time! |
