What is a typical day like?
A typical day at Camp Invention is packed with fun, learning, and creativity from start to finish. It goes a little something like this:
- Warm Welcome – Check your child in before our Camp Director kicks off a day of fun!
- Team Work makes the Dream Work – Campers gather with other young inventors in the making at Base Camp, as they meet with our Leadership Interns.
Mind-full Mornings – Led by a certified local instructor, your child completes two creative challenges (or modules) before lunch — with a healthy snack to keep their minds moving.- Lunch Break – While half our campers eat, the other half refuel with some well-deserved playtime outside or in the gym. Then they switch!
- Amazing Afternoon – Time for two more challenging modules that will inspire your child’s imagination.
- Report Back to Base Camp – Our campers regroup with their Leadership Interns to focus on problem-solving — crucial for future inventing (and everyday life).
- Sign Out – Be prepared for lots of updates from your child about how much fun they had at Camp Invention!
