Innovation Lab (Grades K-4)
1 week sessions 9:00am – 3:00pm $615-$715
Imagine building a castle or designing the perfect racetrack where the thrills have no limits—that’s what you can do with our Innovation Lab. With the creativity of an artist and the mindset of an engineer and architect, campers will not only learn the physics behind how things work and the foundation to building; they’ll also bring their imaginations to life. Under the direction of experienced designers and crafters, campers will turn their ideas into high-quality projects using award-winning cardboard kits, hand tools, and imagination.
Skills Learned
Each week, campers engage in hands-on projects, learning key skills and mindsets:
- Foundation Skills: Design thinking, engineering principles, and construction techniques through brainstorming, planning, and assembling
- Technical Abilities: Safely operating age-appropriate tools while building focus, self-regulation, and responsibility
Also, as they build and create, campers strengthen essential character skills too:
- Collaboration: Working in teams to problem-solve and persevere through challenges
- Resilience and Perserverance: Refining designs and sticking with bringing big ideas to life through trial and error.
By the end of each session, campers take home their finished creations, along with a new level of confidence, enhanced skills, and the mindset of a true innovator.

Weekly Overview
Innovation Lab
The Innovation Lab is the ultimate space for campers to let curiosity and creativity run wild. Science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) are blended daily in an exciting array of age-appropriate projects and skills being taught. From campers teaming up to design a Rube Goldberg–style chain reaction machine, to learning coding concepts and programming robots to complete challenges, or constructing imaginative structures from wood, foam, and 3D pens. Every project encourages campers to experiment, explore new ideas, and discover that innovation isn’t about getting it “right”. It’s about asking questions, trying different approaches, and learning through trial and error.
With imagination at the center and fun guaranteed, The Innovation Lab strikes the perfect balance between structure and creative freedom, giving campers the tools to build, the space to experiment, and the joy of making.
