Unleashing Creative Genius: Camp Invention returns to Northern and Central New Jersey this summer. Created for children entering grades one through six, the Camp Invention program is a weeklong adventure in creativity that immerses children in rich stories that draw upon their innate sense of curiosity through exciting, hands-on investigations, experiments, and engineering challenges. Children learn vital 21st century life skills such as problem solving and teamwork through imaginative play. Each day, children rotate through five integrated modules that employ critical thinking to solve real-world challenges. In one of this summer’s programs Camp Invention participants will construct life-sized clubhouses made of PVC piping in which to crack puzzling codes and solve a mystery, investigate polymer science and create their own bouncy balls to take home, and explore innovative survival traits of the planet’s W!LDest animals. By popular demand, all Camp Invention programs include a module in which children participate in high-energy games that challenge their minds and bodies, as well as a renowned invention module, in which children upcycle pieces and parts of discarded household appliances and other donated materials to create new machines. Led by educators at local schools, the nationally-acclaimed Camp Invention program will be held at a site near you. This summer, invest in the 21st century learning skills that will stay with your children for years to come. Early registration discounts are available, and spaces are limited, so register today!
