Camp Invention will be held from June 26 to June 29 at Lutheran Church of Our Savior.
Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment camp program, is coming to Haddonfield’s Lutheran Church of Our Savior the week of June 26 to June 29.
Camp Invention is a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame — a nonprofit organization dedicated to recognizing inventors and invention, promoting creativity, and advancing the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by certified educators who reside and teach in the community.
The program is supported by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and the camp’s curriculum is inspired by Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
For students entering kindergarten through sixth grade, Camp Invention is a weeklong adventure featuring hands-on problem solving, collaboration and the use of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Inventive young minds can exercise their creativity and use their imagination all while learning and developing new skills they may not get to use in the classroom. Children are empowered to have big ideas while they take on challenges that inspire them to question, brainstorm, work as a team and build invention prototypes.
This year’s Camp Invention curriculum features several hands-on modules:
· Duct Tape Billionaire: Campers design duct tape products they can
market and sell to mock investors.
· Have a Blast: Children build high-tech Bubble Blasters and compete as
a team in friendly air battles that use physics to boost their advantage.
· Mission Space Makers: Teams hatch eggs, sprout living plants and grow
crystal trees while on a mission to locate and prepare a new planet
for human habitation.
· Operation Keep Out: Campers learn to reverse engineer old machines and
devices to use their parts to create the ultimate Spy Gadget Alarm Box.
Camp Invention serves more than 130,000 students every year and partners with more than 1,400 schools and districts across the nation. For additional information or to find the camp nearest you, visit campinvention.org.
