Choosing Camp Invention for Summer Camp

Summer is quickly approaching and finding just the right thing for your to do is a big decision that you make as a parent. 

Choosing Camp Invention for Summer Camp

This post is sponsored by Camp Invention.  All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

One summer camp option we think that you should consider is Camp Invention.

Camp Invention captured our attention last summer where both of our children were invited to participate.  Each of them had an amazing time learning to THINK and become INVENTORS . It was an environment filled with curiousity where campers were challenged and teachers encouraged them to explore their own ideas. This year’s theme is Illuminate™.

Illuminate with Camp Invention

The 2015 camp theme, Illuminate™ where STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) meets real world inspiration and lots of fun!
IlluminateTM will encourage your child to explore their inventiveness and problem solving skills with experiences that will harness their curiosity, inspire creativity and evoke a sense of accomplishment!
Your child will not want to miss out on the chance to imagine, tinker and invent prototypes that they can take home with them this summer! IlluminateTM will generate excitement and encourage a passion for innovation that will open up a world of new possibilities! The IlluminateTM curriculum features five energetic and fun-filled modules that incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) activities, which will empower your creative thinker and further inspire them to innovate and solve problems!

    Somehow I have not heard of this camp before now. Interestingly, there is one pretty close to us 🙂 Would be fun to send my almost 4th grader there.
