In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame®, St. Johns Public Schools is excited to offer the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention program to children entering kindergarten through sixth grade.

This inspiring, weeklong summer experience provides opportunities for open-ended, hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering and more! Taking on a variety of exhilarating activities each day, children have fun collaborating with friends, thinking creatively, and inventing their own solutions to real-world challenges.

The week begins on June 17th with Rachael Post serving as Director (a St. Johns Public School teacher). The all-new 2024 program will spark the imagination of both new and returning campers with an adventure full of inspiration, innovation, and unforgettable discoveries!

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

• • In the Game: Develop their own sports ball and customize a light-up game with a unique brand and logo as they explore athletics, design and innovation
• • Let’s Glow: Discover the science of light through illuminating inventions and fluorescent animals, then build a one-of-a-kind Glow Box using circuitry and ultraviolet light
• • Operation HydroDrop: Embark on an epic global operation to tackle water challenges around the world, learning the role that water plays with the help of a robotic lab-on-wheels
• • Prototyping Game Show: Star as a contestant on a prototyping game show, molding and shaping ideas into awesome inventions using everyday items and a DIY toolbox
