Hello folks! Step right up to carnival camp! This week campers will put their minds together to create their own carnival games and prizes! From cardboard skee-ball, balloon animals and even a dunk tank, the campers are the creators. On Friday, it all comes together for a fun, all-camp carnival, where campers showcase their creations, play games and win prizes.
For this one-week mission, you will learn to think and solve problems like real NASA engineers! Through fun, hands-on activities, we will apply science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills to solve fun challenges facing our trip to space. Our mission will include landing safely on the planet’s surface, creating space vehicles to pick up and collect rock samples and designing a rocket to blast off back to earth!
Put on your city planning hats! This camp is all about imagination, invention and collaboration. Campers will use various supplies and materials ranging from fabric and perler beads to cardboard, and 3D printers to design and create their own storefronts, store names and products. Campers can collaborate with a friend or make one on their own! Create your wares by hand or use a ChompShop and laser cutter to develop your ideas. On Friday, all the town’s parts will be assembled in one space, open for all campers to run their stores and visit different parts of town!
