The Camp Invention program will be held from July 30 through Aug. 3 at the Grosse Ile Presbyterian Church.
It is designed to inspire creativity and inventive-thinking through hands-on activities.
Children will participate in five age-appropriate modules each day.
They include disassembling old machinery and using parts to make their own inventions in the "I Can Invent" module. Another is crash-landing on an imaginary planet and figuring out how to get back to Earth in the "Problem Solving on Planet ZAK."
Other modules are creating and building a roller coast in the "Imagination Point: Ride Physics" module; learning about physics and motion while becoming automobile safety designers in the "Spills and Chills" module; and creating mind-boggling new games in the "Amazing Games" module.
The program integrates science, mathematics, history and the arts in an environment that is conducive to learning — disguised as fun.
Serving as director, Marcia Daily and local teachers will lead the programs each day. High school and college students will serve as counselors.
The program features a low staff-to-child ratio, with one staff member for every eight children.
The registration fee includes snacks and a T-shirt.
Register before Thursday to receive $20 off the base registration price; alumni are eligible for even greater savings.
