More About Camp
Inspire a passion for science in your child! New activities every year, over 50 locations and four different kinds of Camp Invention programs in Minnesota!
Kids participate in each of these activities every day:
I Can Invent: Fantasy Inventions and Complicated Machines III - Use real tools to take apart old appliances and see how they work, then create a model of your own invention. Older campers participate in a Rube Goldberg team challenge that starts a (safe) explosion.
Hatched! – Help Inventar rebuild a virtual world that has been slowly disappearing
Tessa Lation and the Lords and Ladies of Logic – Help Knight Tessa reignite the splendor of mathematics through bubbles, nature, logic, and more!
Zero – The energy to power our planet has been set to zero. Help discover how to use natural energy sources to repower our world.
Global Games - Children explore cultures from across the world as they play games from far away lands, recreate history and are challenged to work together.
Directed and taught by qualified local educators, Camp Invention is a national, non-profit science enrichment program from the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
