Creative Construction is a hands-on camp for kids who love to build, design, and bring big ideas to life. Throughout the week, campers sketch, create, test, and improve their own structures and inventions using a variety of materials. They learn that creativity isn’t just about having a cool idea, it’s about solving problems, trying again, and making things stronger and better.
Campers work both independently and in teams, building confidence, collaboration skills, and resilience along the way. Older campers take on more advanced design challenges, while younger builders grow their foundational skills through guided exploration.
The week wraps up with a Friday showcase where families can see the incredible projects campers have imagined and built. If your child loves to tinker, invent, and think outside the box, Creative Construction is the place to do it.
This program is designed for students entering grades 1–6 in the fall of 2026.
Camp Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM
Free aftercare is available 4:00 PM–5:00 PM
Campers will need to bring their own lunches. Snacks are provided in the morning and in the afternoon.
