"Illuminate" Your Summer!
WATCH 2024 CAMP INVENTION ILLUMINATE VIDEO
- Week 1: June 3-7
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, design a logo and are recognized for their creativity by being inducted into the Game of Fame! - Week 2: June 10-14
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! - Week 3: June 17-20 (NO CAMP on June 21)
Explore the Earth & 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! - Week 4: June 24-28
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!
Here’s what an action-packed day looks like with Bear Trek's Camp Invention
A.M. Base Camp
Drop off your camper with their Camp Invention teachers, and they’ll start each day with games that encourage teamwork and spark creativity.
Morning Modules or Activities
Half of the campers take on two creative challenges (camp invention modules) while the other campers do activities (such as pool, arts, sports, water games, etc). During modules, we will introduce your child to world-changing inventors, keep them active, and encourage their curiosity and creative thinking.
Games & Lunch
Half of the campers head outside — or to the gym — to play action-packed games while the others campers eat the lunch they’ve packed. Then they switch!
Afternoon Modules or Activities
Half of the campers take on two creative challenges (camp invention modules) while the other campers do activities (such as pool, arts, sports, water games, etc). During modules, we will introduce your child to world-changing inventors, keep them active, and encourage their curiosity and creative thinking.
P.M. Base Camp
The day wraps up as campers wind down with problem-solving games. When you sign out your camper, they’ll tell you just how much fun they had at Camp Invention!
