Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment camp program, is changing its in-person program at two local sites to an all-new, at-home edition of the program called Camp Invention Connect. Camp Invention Connect balances active, independent hands-on exploration with opportunities for socialization from home.
The programs scheduled at Lancaster-Lebanon IU13 and Cornwall Elementary School will be changed to Camp Invention Connect instead. Both programs will run from Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17.
A hybrid program featuring both offline activities and optional online sessions, Camp Invention Connect enables hands-on exploration by delivering a set of four activity kits, packed full of materials, directly to each participant. The themed kits, based on the 2020 Elevate curriculum from Camp Invention, include materials designed to bring imagination, creative problem solving, and fun to children. The 2020 curriculum includes the modules Camp Invention Flight Lab, Design Thinking Project, Rescue Squad, and Camp Invention Champions.
Young innovators choosing the Camp Invention Connect experience will take on indoor and outdoor challenges that minimize screen time and maximize creativity, collaborate virtually with friends to complete exciting challenges, and receive real-time coaching and collaboration with certified educators.

A program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Camp Invention challenges children in kindergarten through grade six to find their inner inventor by learning the process of innovation. Using hands-on activities, Camp Invention promotes science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning; seeks to build confidence, leadership, perseverance, resourcefulness, and problem-solving skills; and encourages entrepreneurship.
