Camp Invention is the only nationally recognized, non-profit elementary enrichment program inspired by the National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees and partners with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Camp Invention offers an immersive week-long STEM summer camp experience for children entering grades K-6, focusing on hands-on activities that foster creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. The 2026 "Spark" program engages campers in exciting challenges such as teaming up with robotic capybaras for forensic investigations, riding the waves of entrepreneurship, uncovering the power of protecting their ideas, and building a DIY space rocket to terraform a new planet. Through these adventures, children develop essential STEM skills, build confidence, and learn persistence and collaboration. Campers explore concepts like circuitry, design thinking, and engineering, applying them to real-world problems and creating their own inventions. The program aims to inspire future innovators and entrepreneurs by providing a safe and fun environment for open-ended exploration and discovery.
A typical day at Camp Invention involves morning activities and STEM challenges, followed by lunch and outdoor games. Afternoons include more hands-on STEM and design thinking challenges, concluding with a final teamwork activity before parent pickup.
Camp Invention is ideal for curious children entering grades K-6 who are eager to explore STEM concepts, develop creative problem-solving skills, and build confidence through hands-on invention and collaboration.
