Mad Inventors Camp! - 5 Day - Full-Day at The Pointe at Ballwin Commons
Creative Contraption Warning! This is a camp designed by you--the Inventor! Each day you'll be given a series of challenges which must be overcome using basic materials, simple machines, tips from the world of famous inventors, and the most important thing of all--your mind. With a little bit of ingenuity, you'll construct forts and then lay siege with a catapult, create a mini boat, and assemble a working light saber to take home.

| Rock, Paper, Scissors: It is the middle ages, and your “army” is under siege. All you have at your disposal is paper, scissors and … duct tape. What will you do? How will you defend your castle? How will you take the battle to their castle to vanquish your foes? |
| Science Fiction: Journey to the future and examine the ultramodern inventions of the 23rd century. Then design the future - today. "Create" light sabers, hovercraft, and jet packs. |
| Shipwrecked!: If you were stranded on a desert island, how would you survive? Well, on this day we will find out. You will need to build shelter, find food and water, protect yourself and your teammates from the elements and find a way off the island! |
| Think Fast: Inventing means cooperation! Children review technological advances in flight & work together to improve paper plane designs. It took the world 100 years to go from traveling by horse & buggy to landing on the moon. You're smart; you'll do it a day! |
| Whiz Kids: Did you know that an accident can become a great invention or that kids have created some of the gadgets we use every day? With materials that look a lot like, well ... junk - you'll be put to the test! |
