2008 Camp Invention Information Is Here!

Creativity and brainstorming are the building blocks to your child’s future! Camp Invention® emphasizes those skills and more and Ferry Elementary is proud to be among the select schools in Michigan that will serve as a host site during the week of June 23-27, 2008. Register with a friend and you can each save $20 off of the base registration rate, but you have to register together. If three or more siblings register together, they each save $40 off of the base rate. Our camp fills every year, so don’t miss out!

Children will create exciting new games and transform ordinary household items into extraordinary inventions during this weeklong summer adventure for those entering grades 2-6. Children will participate daily in five activity-oriented modules focused on science literacy, math, history and the arts.

Debra Duffey, a teacher at Parcells Middle School, will direct the camp and local teachers will teach the five modules. High school and college students will be hired to serve as camp counselors. The camp features a low staff-to-participant ratio of 1:8.

The camp fee includes snacks and a T-shirt. Registration for each camp is limited to 110 children, so register early. In addition to registering online, you may also register at 1-800-968-4332, via fax at 330-849-8528 or by mail at Camp Invention, 565 White Pond Drive, Akron, OH 44320.
