Camp Invention is the only nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment program inspired by the Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, offering a unique blend of creativity, innovation, and real-world problem-solving.
Camp Invention's 2026 Spark program offers rising K-6 campers a week of hands-on STEM challenges designed to foster creativity, confidence, and problem-solving skills. Campers will engage in four distinct modules: Fur-ensics™, Make Waves™, Space Morphers™, and The Infringers™. In Fur-ensics™, children sharpen their detective skills by teaming up with robotic capybaras to investigate mysteries, collecting evidence, and applying forensic science techniques. Make Waves™ encourages entrepreneurship as campers experiment with physics, design prototypes, and learn to market their innovative products. Space Morphers™ sends campers on an epic mission to build DIY rockets, terraform a new planet, and conduct experiments in a Space Lab. Finally, in The Infringers™, participants develop their innovative superpowers, learn about intellectual property, and use cryptography to protect their designs while solving community challenges. The program emphasizes collaboration, persistence, and resourcefulness, inspired by National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees.
A typical day involves campers rotating through four different modules, engaging in hands-on STEM challenges, collaborative activities, and outdoor games, with opportunities for early drop-off and late pick-up.
This camp is best for curious children entering kindergarten through sixth grade who enjoy hands-on activities, STEM exploration, and developing their creativity and problem-solving abilities.
