Camp Invention® is coming to Earlham Community School District!

In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF), Earlham Elementary School is excited to offer the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention® program to children entering K through 6th grade. This inspiring, weeklong summer experience provides opportunities for open-ended, hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering and more! Taking on a variety of exhilarating activities each day, children have fun collaborating with friends, thinking creatively and inventing their own solutions to real-world challenges.

The week begins on July 10, 2023 with Kristin Sheffield serving as Director. The all-new 2023 program, Wonder, will spark the imagination of both new and returning campers with an adventure full of inspiration, innovation and unforgettable discoveries!

During this action-packed, confidence-boosting program, young innovators will:

·       Design and build their own mini skate park, customize their mini skateboard, and practice persistence as they take on ramps, bowls, rails and more

·       Transform a robot into a one-of-a-kind stuffie while exploring genetics, finding inspiration in nature and taking pride in their individuality 

·       Take on the role of event planner as they design a grand celebration, invent a Party Assistant, and create a light-up party hat and bubble art banner

 ·       Launch their own pop-up business while building entrepreneurship skills, making smart financial choices, using green energy and attracting customers
