AM: Inventors Lab: Wild Robots
Step into the Inventors Lab, where creativity meets curiosity! Campers will become real inventors as they dream up new ideas, improve designs, and explore the exciting world of science. Through hands-on experiments and imaginative problem-solving, they’ll bring their inventions to life and discover the joy of innovation!
Enter a world where technology meets the untamed wild! From crawling critters to soaring bots, young inventors will explore STEAM concepts while creating robotic creatures that move, react, and come to life. Get ready for a hands-on adventure where imagination runs wild!December 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 31

12:45 PM - 03:30 PM
Location: Sunnyvale - Peterson Middle School
Price: $125
PM: Tinker Race: Things that Float
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, team building projects, organized games, and outdoor physical activities to keep the creative juices flowing.
Whether it's designing your own boat, crafting a buoyant watercraft, or experimenting with materials like foam, plastic, wood, and recylced items, this camp is all about exploring the forces that make things float and the engineering behind water transportation.
Tinker Race is the perfect place for young inventors and tinkerers who love working with their hands, exploring science, and creating floating inventions that are as fun as they are educational!December 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 31 -

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!
Bring a Friend Tuesday - We encourage campers to bring their friends to camp on this day. A fun way to close out the week and show off your new skills and friends. Limit 1 per camper and may be closed at our larger sites - your site director will advise if that is the case. We recommend someone of the same or similar age, but welcome everyone K-8th grade.
