Camp Invention 2026
The Gifted Collective is offering two weeks of camp in 2026 with no content overlap.
June Camp 6/1/2026 - 6/5/2026
Illuminate!
Give your young innovator an inspiring, action-packed summer adventure! Exciting, hands-on challenges will spark curiosity and build their confidence as they jump into limitless STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fun with opportunities to imagine, experiment and create. Read more about what your camper will experience at camp:
INNOVATION
Gear up for sports and invention as you investigate the science of sports ball design, then personalize your own light-up game board. Get your creativity rolling to achieve your goal of being inducted into the Game of Fame!
PERSISTENCE
Shine bright as you use the science of light to create a customized Glow Box! Find inspiration from illuminating inventions and animals that glow to reveal a mystery behind a creature with a glowing feature.
PROBLEM SOLVING
Embark on an epic global operation to solve real-world water challenges! With help from your own robotic Lab-On-Wheels, explore water-based technology, then unlock sustainable design thinking by engineering a tiny house with crops.
CREATIVITY
Step into the Prototyping Studio to bring your big ideas to life! Mold and transform unique inventions as you uncover the many places world-changing inventors create, then protect your prototypes with the power of intellectual property.

July Camp 7/13/2026 - 7/17/2026
Spark!
Inspire your young innovator with a one-of-a-kind summer adventure! Exciting, hands-on challenges will spark curiosity and build their confidence as they dive into limitless STEM fun full of opportunities to imagine, experiment and create. Read more about what your camper will do each day at the all-new 2026 Camp Invention® experience:
INNOVATION
Your camper will make a splash in the world of innovation as they ride the exciting waves of entrepreneurship! From brainstorming bright ideas to pitching their own prototypes, they’ll dive into creativity while exploring the wonders of ocean science along the way.
CREATIVITY
Get ready for an out-of-this-world adventure as your young explorer will launch a mission to find and prepare a brand-new planet for human life! They’ll use their creativity to invent clever tools to handle extreme conditions, reshape the terrain and breathe life into their exoplanet, transforming it into the next Earth.
PROBLEM SOLVING
Powered by the superpowers of the I Can Invent® Mindset, your camper will join forces with the Innovation Force® – real-life superhero inventors from the National Inventors Hall of Fame®! Together, they tackle tricky problems from their own backyards to far-off places, dreaming up bold new inventions while outsmarting the sneaky Infringers who are always trying to snatch their genius ideas!
PERSISTENCE
Get ready for some mystery-solving fun! Your young detective will put their investigation skills to the test as they crack a string of silly crimes, with help from a trusty team of robotic capybaras! They’ll follow puzzling footprints, gather tufts of fluffy fur, examine curious splatters and uncover all kinds of wacky clues along the way.
