Camp Invention is a nationally recognized program designed to spark creativity and foster innovation in young minds for grades 1-6. Through hands-on activities and engaging challenges, students discover the joys of STEM and learn to think like inventors! It’s a fun and educational camp experience that builds confidence and critical thinking skills. Attached is the flyer for the program at Friendsville!
We want to make this as accessible as possible—as a new camp, there is still a discount available for families to register! Enter promo code NEWCAMP30 at checkout for $30 off (expires 5/22)!

There are also a very limited number of $100 scholarships available for Camp Invention, offered on a first-come, first-served basis. This is a great way for students to attend camp at a reduced cost, so I encourage you to share this information quickly with families that would not be able to attend otherwise! Scholarship registration is accessible here, and once scholarship spots have all been claimed, this link will switch to parent-paid registrations: https://invent.ungerboeck.com/prod/emc00/register.aspx?aat=577745353748636867642f3638715a6c4e68777045774d474a3535794c714958766f38485148626e4b356f3d
