Camp Invention Illuminate 

Camp Invention is a confidence-boosting STEM program where kids build creative inventions.  We are offering this program as a three-period daily schedule for students grades 1st to 7th. The program, taught by Wyckoff teachers, is a creative, open-ended learning opportunity. This is a hands-on experience that aligns with national standards. 

There are two sets of course offerings available. Both options are available for any of the full weeks. Students can take one or both throughout the program! When you select Camp Invention there is no need to select individual classes. You will just select which set of classes you choose Illuminate A or B.  Both sets include two invention classes where students will work in groups and individually using a provided field journal.  All items created in these classes get sent home with the students. The third class includes tons of fun with a team-building games program with over 100 different activities to get our students moving and having fun throughout the day.   

More details information and videos about the classes are available here: https://www.invent.org/programs/camp-invention.
