GeoQuest Coming to White Oak this Summer
In partnership with Invent Now,
White Oak Elementary School is pleased to offer the nationally-acclaimed
Camp Invention
program
to children entering grades one through six this
summer. This exciting, weeklong adventure in creativity immerses
children in imaginative play that reinforces and supplements school-year
learning in the subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
(STEM). Children will work together to seek innovative solutions to
real-world challenges and sharpen critical 21st
century learning skills such as teamwork and creative problem solving as
they rotate through four modules each day that disguise learning as fun.
This exciting week begins on July 15, 2013, when Kathy Brott will direct
the Camp Invention Geo-Quest
program at White Oak. Working in teams, children become expedition
trainees,
navigating their way to special treasure-filled caches and creating
solutions to challenges posed by youth from around the world. They will
be embarking on a global adventure, uncovering hidden messages from the
Earth investigating several extreme natural wonders of the world, and
building a device to launch international ducks back home. In the
Cache Dash™ module,
children navigate their way to treasure-filled caches and solve global
challenges from youth around the world. Tools are invented to reveal
hidden messages while exploring the Earthy realms of sky, sea, land and
underground in the Ecoverse™
module. In the I Can Invent: Launchitude™
module, children will take apart broken or unused appliances using real
tools and re-engineer the gears to invent an awesome Duck Chucking
Device! Finally, in the Amazing Atlas
Games™ module, classic high-energy games
will be fused with global fun.Local educators will facilitate program
modules, and enthusiastic high school and college students will serve as
Leadership Interns – ensuring that one staff member is in place for
every eight children.
Every registration includes a free Camp Invention t-shirt. Availability
is limited, so visit www.campinvention.org or call 800.968.4332 to
