Read more about the four unique experiences that make up our all-new 2026 Camp Invention® program:
Fur-ensics™
Campers sharpen their detective skills as they investigate a series of mischievous pranks with Cap E. Bara and a fleet of robotic capybaras. Inspired by the inner mechanics of their capybara, campers create sleuthing gadgets to help them collect bits of fluffy fur and reveal a trail of animal tracks. Then they examine suspicious splatters, forensically analyze the evidence and discover a surprising twist!
Make Waves™
Children build confidence as they ride the waves of entrepreneurship and catch their first big break! Inspired by surfboard innovations, they dive into hands-on buoyancy experiments, paddle their way through salty challenges and generate ideas for unique, innovative products. Then they sketch, design and build prototypes before creating an innovative billboard boat to “make waves” in the market with ocean advertising.
Space Morphers™
Campers stretch their imagination, build a DIY rocket and launch a mission to transform a faraway planet’s atmosphere, terrain and ecosystem for future habitation. After a high-energy Rover Race to collect important data and samples, they design and build inventions for navigating the intense conditions of their planet. In their Space Lab, they make new discoveries as they hatch a mysterious animal egg and encounter a dazzling crystal surprise.
The Infringers™
Campers team up with real-world inventors and unlock their invention superpowers to solve challenges in their community and around the world! They miniaturize top-secret innovations, safeguard their designs using cryptography, and protect their intellectual property from the Infringers, who are duplicating inventions! In a race against time, children time travel to ensure their ideas are patented and protected against the Infringers.
