I remember the moment, earlier this Spring, when I first told the Mrs. about Camp Invention and the exact types of projects on offer at the camp location most convenient for us. She said something along the lines of “there’s no way the girls will want to go.” Her negatively wasn’t unjustified. Our two daughters are homebodies who historically are not agreeable to the concept of participation in adult-led, structured activities, and when they do relent, it tends to not last long. See: gymnastics, dance, karate, soccer. Oh god, the free trail karate lesson. A story for another day.
But what my wife didn’t know was that I’d already mentioned Camp Invention to our girls and they were out of their brilliant little minds excited about it. Here’s why, the curriculum at our location is the Morphed! Program (one of four Camp Invention Summer 2014 programs) which involves the following activities sure to invent the best summer ever:
I mean, seriously, how AMAZING does all that sound?
Tinkering with circuits!
Insect-themed pinball machine!
Super Go Road Rally!
Invent bionic gadgets!
Aaaaaaaaah, I’m so excited! A child would have to be certifiably bonkers to prefer staying home to a week of Camp Invention. B-O-N-K-E-R-S!
Heck, I want to go to Camp Invention myself…think I can pass for a 6th grader? Ummm…
Registration isn’t expensive at all. In fact, I think you’ll find the cost of Camp Invention to be on par with or lower than other weekly summer day camps in your area (especially when you use code SPRING to save $15 per child or register 3 or more siblings and save $50 per child!). But why pay when you can win!
Here’s your chance to win a Camp Invention registration for your kiddo. Remember, this is a weekly nationwide camp happening all summer long. Before you enter the giveaway below, make sure you 1) have an interested child entering grades 1-5, and 2) have a camp nearby (click here and search by zip code).
