Camp Imagineerz states that it is a summer camp where “i-Can!” is not just a mantra, but a way of living, and it states that it believes there is no substitute for hard work, that failure is a stepping stone towards success, and that a person can achieve whatever they believe they can. Camp Imagineerz offers different grade groupings: Grades 1–5 are grouped as Budz, Rootz & Leadz; Grades 6–8 are grouped as Junior LITs; and Grades 9–12 are grouped as Senior LITs. Imagineerz@School combines STEM and SEL in one program and includes modules on Emotional Regulation, Growth Mindset, Problem Solving, Brain Science, Resilience, and Collaboration, plus a Lunch Club with bonus design challenges. One camper testimonial shared by the program is from a six-year-old camper who said, “I know I can do it because i-Imagine! i-Can! i-Do!”
