Camp Invention® is coming to Searcy!
In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame®, Southwest Middle School is excited to offer the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention program to children who will be entering 1st through 6th grade. This inspiring, weeklong summer experience provides opportunities for open-ended, hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering and more! Taking on a variety of exhilarating activities each day, children have fun collaborating with friends, thinking creatively and inventing their own solutions to real-world challenges.
Camp Invention will run Monday-Friday, June 2-6, from 9:00-3:30 each day. The all-new 2025 program will ignite the imagination of both new and returning campers with an adventure full of inspiration, innovation and unforgettable discoveries!
During this action-packed, confidence-boosting program, young innovators will:
• Make their own personalized claw machine complete with one-of-a-kind prizes as they
discover hands-on physics, explore animals with claws and become entrepreneurs.
• Uncover the science behind optical illusions in art, movies, theater and animation,
designing and testing various illusions and inventing moving props to become
special effects experts.
• Rev up for the ultimate road trip complete with a transmitter and receiver, custom
dashboard and travel map, choosing their own path and inventing their way out of
bumps in the road.
• Embark on an epic eco-expedition to investigate penguins and the ice and snow
of Antarctica, developing penguin and planet-saving prototypes with the help of
a robotic assistant.
