Camp Invention - OCR Elementary |
Introducing our 2023 program, Wonder!
Give your young innovator an inspiring, action-packed summer adventure! All-new, hands-on challenges will spark their curiosity and build their confidence as they jump into limitless STEM fun with opportunities to imagine, plan, experiment and create. Read more about what your camper will do each day at camp:
PROBLEM SOLVING
Campers explore physics, design engineering and art as they build their own mini skate park, create DIY riders, personalize their mini skateboards and try out challenging features like ramps, bowls, jumps and rails.
CREATIVITY
To create an epic celebration, campers become event planners who engineer light-up party hats, use the science of color to create a bubble art banner and invent a Party Assistant to help bring their plans to life.
PERSISTENCE
Campers transform their own robot into a one-of-a-kind animatronic stuffie, and then use inspiration from nature and the power of intellectual property to protect their creation from an idea-stealing Copy Cat.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Ideas pop up as campers launch their own pop-up business, make smart financial decisions, and use entrepreneurship skills and creative strategies to attract customers with the ultimate pop-up event.
