Camp Invention Heading to Rush-Henrietta!

In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame®, Rush-Henrietta Community Programs is excited to offer this summer the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention® program to children entering grades 1-6.

Give your young innovator an inspiring, action-packed summer adventure! Exciting, hands-on challenges will spark curiosity and build their confidence as they jump into limitless STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fun. The all-new 2025 program will ignite the imagination of both new and returning campers with an adventure full of inspiration, innovation and unforgettable discoveries!

During the action-packed, confidence-boosting program DISCOVER, young innovators will:

* Make their own personalized claw machine complete with one-of-a-kind prizes as they discover hands-on physics, explore animals with claws and become entrepreneurs

* Uncover the science behind optical illusions in art, movies, theater and animation by designing and testing various illusions and inventing moving props to become special effects experts

* Rev up for the ultimate road trip complete with a transmitter and receiver, custom dashboard and travel map, choosing their own path and inventing their way out of bumps in the road

* Embark on an epic eco-expedition to investigate penguins and the ice and snow of Antarctica, developing penguin and planet-saving prototypes with the help of a robotic assistant.
