“Camp Invention”, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment program, is coming to Tuscarawas Valley Local the week of June 16 – 20, 2025. A program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark office, “Camp Invention” challenges children in grades K-6 to tap into their natural curiosity and use their creativity to solve problems. Through hands-on activities, “Camp Invention” promotes STEM learning; builds confidence, leadership, perseverance and resourcefulness; and encourages entrepreneurship – all in a fun and engaging environment. Each year the program features a new curriculum inspired by some of our nation’s most world-changing inventors – the National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees. This year’s Discover program encourages children to be confident in their ideas and explore their innovativeness through hands-on activities in 4 different areas: In Control, Illusion Workshop, Claw Arcade and Penguin Launch. All local “Camp Invention” programs are facilitated and taught by qualified educators who reside and teach in the community. “Camp Invention” serves 140,000 students every year and partners with more than 2,600 schools and districts across the nation.
