Camp Invention
DISCOVER YOUR SCIENTIFIC SUPERPOWERS!

Camp Invention at Headwaters Science Center will be exploring the science of superheroes this summer.  Find out how they use science to foil the bad guys!  You’ll also get to use real tools to take things apart, like old VCRs and phones, and see what’s inside!  Then, you’ll have to search for hidden Viking treasure and build the fastest invention to cross the finish line!

 You’ll find lots more fun things to do at Camp Invention.  Camp will be held on August 3-7 from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm, and will be presented by local teachers for girls and boys entering grades 1-6.   This national, non-profit science and creativity enrichment program is offered by Headwaters Science Center in collaboration with the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation® and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Register online by January 28th and save $30!  For more information, call 1-800-968-4332 or go to www.campinvention.org.

Camp Director:  Chris Tolman.
