Camp Invention Returns to Lincoln Academy!

In partnership with Invent Now Kids, Lincoln Academy is pleased to offer the nationally-acclaimed, weeklong Camp Invention program at Lincoln Academy to children entering grades one through six.  This exciting summer day experience immerses children in imaginative play that reinforces and supplements school-year learning through inquiry-based activities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).  Each day of the program week, children rotate through five integrated modules that require creative thinking to solve real-world challenges.  Working together, children learn vital 21st century life skills such as problem-solving and teamwork through hands-on learning… disguised as fun!

This exciting week of activities begins on June 14 when Sarah Jacobson will direct the Camp Invention INNOVATE program.  Children will be challenged to rebuild a virtual world and act as entrepreneurs as they establish a new marketplace in the Hatched™ module, explore alternative energy to power their robotic creatures in the Power’d™ module, and discover surprising mathematical connections between soap bubbles and lightening bolts in the SMArt: Science, Math & Art™ module.  As with every Camp Invention program, the INNOVATE program will feature the I Can Invent III™ module, where younger children will take apart discarded household appliances and create fantasy inventions, while older children will use the pieces and parts to build Rube Goldberg machines.  Also featured will be the Global Games™ module, where children will explore ancient cultures and sports like lacrosse and soccer from civilizations around the world.  Local educators will facilitate the program modules, and enthusiastic high school and college students will serve as program counselors.  This renowned program features a low staff-to-child ratio, with one staff member for every eight children.

The registration fee includes a Camp Invention T-shirt.  Register before March 31st or with a friend to receive $25 off the base price of $210.
