How would you like your child to go to Camp Invention in Bentonville or Springdale for FREE? That’s right. FREE! The winner of this giveaway will receive a complimentary admission to Camp Invention in Bentonville or Springdale for their child. Giveaway details at the end of this post.
Camp Invention (for rising 1st-6th graders) is like no other camp in the area. Just take a look at the scheduled activities:
• Viking Treasure Trek: The Quest Begins™ Children spend the week treasure hunting as they follow the footsteps of ancient travelers who have hidden vast amounts of gold. With the aid of compasses, children work together in teams to build sturdy boats and decipher clues that will help put the gold within their grasp.
• Comic Book Science: FlyJack and Jill™ Children must save a major comic book company whose sales are slumping by developing a new superhero comic book series that features superheroes with science-based super powers! Throughout the week, children perform experiments that explore scientific superhero powers. It’s an all out superhero extravaganza when children craft their power-packed characters into real models!
• Land Sled X-Treme™ In this combination of racing and engineering, children work in teams to complete daily challenges such as designing shields to keep from getting wet in a H2O Throw game. By winning challenges, children earn points to use to buy materials such as duct tape, boxes, and skateboards that they transform into one-of-a-kind land sleds to be used an end of the week X-treme obstacle course race!
• I Can Invent: Fantasy Inventions & Complicated Machines II™ Kids learn the joys (and frustrations) that real inventors face during the process of creating totally new inventions. Younger children create fantasy inventions using pieces and parts of broken appliances and other recyclable materials. They further explore the process of invention as they market their inventions and apply for (and even receive) mock patents. Older children work in teams to build complicated, multi-step machines that solve a challenge.
• Recess Remix™ Children mix up and fast forward traditional playground games to concoct unique recreational experiences that will have them rolling on the floor laughing! Children are challenged to use nontraditional equipment (such as water balloons) to play classic games. The laughter is contagious as children use fun ways to enhance their level of cooperation and coordination in these innovative, team-building exercises.
