What families say
““My kiddos love every single second of this camp – they come home all smiles and telling me about everything that they do (which is not the norm during the school year LOL).”” — Shannon M., Allen, TX
““Camp Invention had a huge impact on both my children who attended! They came home with very detailed explanations of ‘symbiosis’ and how they built things. It was amazing! It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end.”” — Heather P., Harrison, AR
““We have two kids in camp (9 and 7), and they talk about what they did in camp nonstop when they get home and build things together. They are always showing each other things that can be ‘repurposed’ for something else and building gadgets together.”” — Dan O., Lowell, IN
