More About Camp
Inspire a passion for science in your child! New activities every year, many locations and two different kinds of Camp Invention programs in Iowa!
Kids participate in each of these activities every day:
Saving Sludge City – Learn how to clean up pollution and build safe landfills, and design a “green” city
Imagination Point: Ride Physics - Experiment with physics as you build roller coasters and other amusement park rides
Problem-Solving on Planet Zak - Crash land on an alien planet and try to survive
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.
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 STEM enrichment program from Invent Now Kids in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
