With endless opportunities to mix, blend, and experiment, this camp is perfect for kids who love to let their imagination run wild!
This program is primarily focused on hands-on creative making, where kids learn to build, craft, tinker, and experiment with various materials and technologies, often involving projects that encourage innovation and critical thinking, all while developing their creativity and DIY skills; essentially, it's a camp where participants actively "make" things rather than just passively learn about them.June Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Daily Themes
Military Monday - A fun and fast introduction to camp, your coach and new teammates! We call it "Military Monday" because we run a tight (positive) ship on Monday to get shirts passed out, teams divided and everyone organized.
Jersey Thursday - This is fun free dress day for any camper 4th-8th (or younger) to wear any jersey they have. Could be one of theirs from a team they played on or their favorite athlete - anything goes.
Soak Your Coach Tuesday - Soak your coach is a fan favorite! On this day the winners of a few select competitions (of each age group) will get to choose a coach to soak with a GIANT water balloon! We will also choose campers of the week based on their attitude, effort and sportsmanship to do the honors. This is a fun day as coaches compete not to get soaked and the whole camp will rally behind which coaches they want to see soaked.
Final Four Friday - We love to close the week with tournaments and games to highlight the skills we've been working on all week. In our older divisions with 4 or more teams we will seed and play out a tournament to close out the week. Campers will also have 1 on 1 conversations with their coach about how the week went, what they excelled at and how they can improve. Each camper will go home with a hand written report card!
Bring a Friend Wednesday - We encourage campers to bring their friends to camp on this day. A fun way to close out the week and show off your new skills and friends. Limit 1 per camper and may be closed at our larger sites - your site director will advise if that is the case. We recommend someone of the same or similar age, but welcome everyone K-8th grade.
