PM: Tinker Race: Things that Roll
Get ready to explore at our hands-on summer camp where kids dive into the exciting world of tinkering, designing, building, and personalizing their own creations!
Each participant will enjoy the chance to see their inventions come to life and put them to the test in exciting competitions, including distance challenges, speed trials, and precision landing contests. Our Tinker Race camp combines Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math, so campers will engage in crafts, teambuilding projects, organized games, and outdoor physical activities to keep the creative juices flowing.
From race cars to robots to rolling machines, this camp is all about using creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on building to design and construct rolling inventions. Campers will dive into the physics of motion, learn how wheels work, and explore how to make their creations move faster, farther, and smoother.
Whether you’re a future racecar engineer, robot creator, or just someone who loves watching things roll, this camp is the perfect place to tinker, create, and have fun while learning all about movement. With every turn of the wheel, you'll discover new ways to make your ideas roll farther, faster, and more smoothly than ever before!November Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 -

Daily Themes
Military Monday - A fun and fast introduction to camp, your coach and new teammates! We call it "Military Monday" because we run a tight (positive) ship on Monday to get shirts passed out, teams divided and everyone organized.
Gatorade Tuesday - Gatorade day, for a lot of campers and coaches is the highlight of the week! Not for the sports drink you can buy anywhere, but for the fun competitions, high energy and teaching involved. All day, teams will be competing for stars - enthusiasm, sportsmanship, hustle, listening skills, winning competitions, cheering on a teammate or opponent - and the team at the end of the day (in each gym) will win a drink for their entire team. This provides a GREAT teaching opportunity for us, as everyone does not win, and this is intentional. We teach that while you cannot always BE the best, you can always DO your best! We praise those that tried their best, and reward that as well. Reaching your goals requires hard work and set backs are part of the journey - success lies in the way you navigate the journey not in any temporary destination. Every hand goes up when we asked who had fun, both those that won and lost as competing with your team to the best of your ability feels good!
Popsicle Wednesday - Our popsicle competition takes all the fun and high energy of our Gatorade day, but with a twist. Instead of competing with all the other teams, you're only competing with yourself. If you can surpass the number set earlier in the week your team can earn popsicles regardless of anyone else. This is a fun day, complete with lots of competitions using all the skills we've been learning for the week!
Final Four Wednesday - We love to close the week with tournaments and games to highlight the skills we've been working on all week. In our older divisions with 4 or more teams we will seed and play out a tournament to close out the week. Campers will also have 1 on 1 conversations with their coach about how the week went, what they excelled at and how they can improve. Each camper will go home with a hand written report card!
