This year Suwanee Elementary School has scheduled a new camp for the week of July 12-16, 2010. The camp will be held here at Suwanee from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.
The Camp Invention program is a week-long, nonprofit summer program that fosters creativity, teamwork, and science literacy through hands-on FUN for children entering grades one through sixth next fall. Children participate daily in five activity-oriented modules which are led by local certified teachers.

This camp will feature a curriculum called Create, including the below activities:
Problem Solving on Planet ZAK ®
Crash-land on an alien planet! Use innovative thinking to assemble protective clothing, assess the weather, and survive this strange environment.
Saving Sludge City™
It's up to you to green up and rebuild this polluted town. Create clean landfills, invent vehicles that won't pollute the air, and reinvent Sludge City!
Imagination Point: Ride Physics™
Design cool rides for an amusement park. Discover the science behind your very own model roller coasters and daredevil rides!
I Can Invent III™
