Thinkery Summer Camp offers a unique play-based, inquiry-driven approach to STEAM learning, empowering children to lead their own adventures and build confidence through hands-on exploration with real tools and technology.
Thinkery Summer Camp offers curious campers a playful, hands-on adventure exploring imaginative themes like Nature, Art, Maker, Storytelling, and Community. Each week is designed to encourage building, experimenting, creating, and discovering in a joyful and supportive environment. Campers engage in activities such as investigating local ecosystems, creating art with various materials, experimenting with color and light, designing and building structures, and bringing stories to life through coding and robotics. They gain skills in creative problem-solving, collaboration, critical thinking, and tool fluency, using real tools like hammers and power drills, and technology like Ozobots and Bee-Bots. The camp fosters confidence, encourages responsible risk-taking, and promotes social-emotional development through inquiry-driven experiences.
Returning campers benefit from deeper exploration as they practice, refine, and build upon skills developed earlier in the summer. While themes may repeat, no two weeks are the same, offering a blend of familiar activities and new projects, materials, and challenges. Campers leave with fresh ideas, growing confidence, and joyful memories.
A typical day at Thinkery Summer Camp involves hands-on exploration of STEAM concepts through collaborative games and activities, tinkering to grow creative problem-solving skills, and developing tool fluency.
This camp is best for elementary-aged children (rising K-3rd grade) who are curious, enjoy hands-on activities, and are eager to explore STEAM concepts through play and creative challenges.
