Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given science/tech program.

Frequently asked about Camp Invention

What ages does Camp Invention accept?
Camp Invention is open to children ages 5–12. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
How much does Camp Invention cost?
Camp Invention publishes $2,214/week for the standard session. Full season tuition is $15,500 for 7 weeks. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
What are Camp Invention's hours?
Camp Invention runs 9:00 AM–3:30 PM. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
Who runs Camp Invention?
Camp Invention is operated by a nonprofit organization. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
Does Camp Invention provide lunch?
Camp Invention does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
Does Camp Invention offer financial aid?
Yes — Camp Invention offers financial aid or scholarships. Most camp aid is need-based, application-based, and awarded on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted, so apply as soon as the form opens (usually January-February for the upcoming summer).
