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

“It taught me crucial social skills, but more importantly it gave me critical thinking skills that I’d have struggled to gain otherwise.” — Jaden S., Brainerd, MN

“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
