  SUMMER CAMP WEEK 3: Famous Inventors Week

  Kindergarten - 6th Grade

  Important Note: Due to running our Rosie's Girls program simultaneously during this week, we will not be offering a half-week camp option for Famous Inventors Week. The cost for this full week of camp is $350. Traditionally, our camp groups are separated into different rooms based on age. However, for this particular week, the two age groups (K-3rd and 4th-6th grade) will be together in one room. Projects will still be differentiated within the room to cater to the varying abilities of all participants.

  Camp Theme: Famous Inventors Week 

  Dates: July 21st-25th 

  Time: 8am-4pm (drop off between 8-9am) 

  Location:112 Quality Ln, Rutland VT, 05701 

  Age Groups: K-6th grade (Campers will be together in one room for activities, with projects tailored to different age levels) 

  Rate: $350 for the full week 

  Important: After you have registered, please email us at marissa@rutlandmint.org to let us know which age group your child falls into (K-3rd or 4th-6th). This will help us ensure that we have appropriate materials prepared for each age level. 

  What to Pack:

  • Snacks and lunch for your child each day.
  • Comfortable, durable clothing suitable for outdoor activities.
  • Closed-toe shoes with good traction.
  • A water bottle to stay hydrated.
  • Sunscreen and a hat for sun protection.
  • Books, sensory items, etc. for alternative break time options.

  A Week of Inventive Exploration! Each day during Famous Inventors Week, we'll dive into the fascinating world of innovation by learning about 2-3 different famous inventors – both women and men – and the groundbreaking ideas they brought to life. Through engaging, hands-on activities, campers will create projects inspired by these inventions. Imagine building a simple machine like Da Vinci, experimenting with electricity like Edison, designing a communication device inspired by Bell, or even exploring the principles behind the first computer programs thanks to Ada Lovelace! We'll celebrate the diverse minds that have shaped our world, encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity as we explore their impact. Our activities will be designed to engage all campers, with variations to suit the developmental levels of both our younger and older participants within the shared room. Get ready to discover the power of ingenuity and maybe even spark the inventor within! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our Education Coordinator at Marissa@rutlandmint.org.

  Get ready for a week of discovery and creation!
