Camp Invention
Camp Invention is a week-long educational experience that fosters
creativity, teamwork, inventive thinking and science literacy among
elementary school children. Camp goers work on various projects through
which they learn scientific concepts such as buoyancy, probability and
statistics.
Camp Invention 2011 will be held from July 25 to July 29, 2011. For more information about 2011 Camp Invention, click here.
Camp Invention began in 1990 as an education outreach program of the
National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation in Akron, Ohio, with support
from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. By 1995, the program was
able to go nationwide. This summer, more than 60,000 children are
anticipated to participate in Camp Invention.
The program has received rave reviews from participating educators,
parents and children - giving it an approval rating of more than 90
percent. To learn more about Camp Invention, call 800.968.4332 or visit
