A week of daytime excitement, children attending Camp Invention are immersed in imaginative play that both reinforces and supplements school-year learning through inquiry-based activities in science, technology, engineering, math (STEM), as well as history and the arts. America is currently facing a critical talent gap in these areas, known as the international “language” of innovation. The country’s economic and productive future depends on how well we educate our children and youth.

The Camp Invention program helps cultivate the ideas critical to STEM by encouraging exploration and curiosity during everyday activities so children understand that science is everywhere – fostering “whole system” thinkers.

The premier program of the nonprofit Invent Now Kids, the nationally-acclaimed Camp Invention experience has been inspiring the minds of children nationwide for over 20 years. Renowned for the opportunity it extends to elementary-aged children to explore the unknown, tinker with ideas, and satisfy an innate sense of curiosity, this unique program provides a safe, creative outlet for them to experience extended summer learning taught by familiar local educators.

Each day of the program week, children rotate through five integrated modules that require creative thinking to solve real-world challenges. Working together, children learn vital 21st century life skills such as problem solving and teamwork through hands-on activities disguised in fun.

Camp Invention is a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation in partnership with the US Patent and Trademark Office. Camp Invention is offered in most sites from Monday through Friday and the hours are usually 9-3:30. A tshirt is provided, while students bring a lunch.
