They say the journey is more important than the destination and at Camp Invention the real lesson comes from the journey to get to the outcome.

During the summers, you want your kids to have that sense of pride in completing a project or task that they themselves came up with. Something they can be proud of.
Last weekend a lady said to me that her kids hated eating certain kinds of food but when she involved them in the cooking process they ate more and was open to new things.
This is similar to how Camp invention works
.kids are introduced to a process which will enhance what they may have already learned in school and take it to the next level.
