Invention Convention

Can you dream up something that solves a problem — or just makes life more fun? This week, campers will turn ideas into action as they design, build, test, and refine their own inventions. Along the way, they’ll discover that every success and setback is just another step toward innovation.

Time Travelers: Adventures Across Eras

Hop in your time machine — destination: unknown! This week, campers will design and build the machines that launch them through time, then imagine what they’ll find when they arrive. Will they land among dinosaurs, the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, or future cities in the clouds? Wherever (and whenever) they go, adventure — and building — await.
