Ingenuity Camp 2026

Basic Camp Overview

Ingenuity Camp is an exciting exploration that trains your brain to think creatively!

Campers work in teams to write, design, and build a creative solution to an open-ended problem. Their solutions take on the form of a short play. Camp activities foster divergent thinking, risk taking, and collaboration in an atmosphere which rewards thinking “outside the box!”

Campers will learn how to complete a simple task in a fun, creative way!

Daily workshops + challenges = loads of fun and creativity!

Designed for current 1st -7th graders. Campers are placed in small groups based on grade and can make friend requests.

Volunteers are welcome! Sibling and adult volunteer discounts are available!

Camp schedule: M-TH 10-2:30. Friday schedule 10:00-1:00 with Family Showcase starting at 11:30. Located at Fort Couch Middle School.

2026 Camp Theme
This year’s camp theme is “The Seriously Silly Museum” 🏛️🤣! Students will create a playful performance about a museum filled with ridiculous exhibits, where creativity takes center stage and unexpected problems lead to imaginative solutions. They’ll think “outside the box” while exploring challenges involving building, creativity, technology, and problem-solving. 🎭✨
