Invent
Now Kids is pleased to bring the Camp Invention CREATE
program – featuring all new activities – to Wayland-Cohocton
Central School. The weeklong program for children entering
grades one through six will be held at Wayland Elementary
and Middle School August
9th – August 13th. This exciting summer day experience
immerses children in imaginative play that inspired
creativity and inventive thinking through hands on
activities in science, technology, engineering, math (STEM).
Its learning disguised as fun!
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 that inspire creativity and inventive thinking
through hands-on activities.
This year, Wayland-Cohocton Central School Director of
Curriculum Becky Wager will direct the Camp Invention CREATE
program, where children not only have to figure out a way to
survive on a strange planet during the Problem Solving on
Planet ZAK® module, but also rebuild a cleaner, more
eco-friendly city in the Saving Sludge City™ module and
create amusement park rides during the Imagination Point:
Ride Physics™ module. Every Camp Invention program features
the I Can Invent III™ module, where younger children take
apart discarded household appliances and create fantasy
inventions, while older children use the pieces and parts to
build Rube Goldberg machines. Also featured is the Global
Games™ module, where children 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.
Every child who participates will receive a Camp Invention
T-shirt. There will only be a registration fee of $25, which
will be refunded if your child attends all 5 days. A limited
number of registrations are available so keep an eye out for
the registration forms that will be coming home soon. To
