Rides & Roller Coasters
What kind of adventure park can you create with toilet paper tubes and tape – and loads of other recycled goods? This week, campers will design, build, and refine miniature rides and rollercoasters.
LIVE ONLINE SUMMER CAMP:
June 6 – August 12, 2022
Campers ages 6-12 join our virtual community, led by a LIVE, trained Guide, and get hands- ons, repurposing their recycling to solve fun, weekly engineering challenges.
Through the process, they have fun, make new friends, and develop a growth mindset.
Simple Tools + Guided Practice = GROWTH MINDSET

Join Us for One Week, an Entire Session, or the Whole Summer!
Each week presents a new challenge to keep the engagement and effort high, and another opportunity for your children to practice the tools that will help them build a Growth Mindset.
From roller coasters and Ferris wheels to carnival rides and games, this session is equal parts play and design. Campers will get hands on, turning trash into treasure, as they construct from cardboard and other materials that would normally end up in their recycling bins.

Campers team up as Secret Agents this session with a new mission each week. Using cardboard, masking tape, and whatever else they can find in their recycling bins, along with plenty of creativity and perseverance, they will build ziplines, rockets and submarines to transport top-secret messages, facing exciting obstacles along the way.
With piles of recycling, plenty of tape and hot glue, and a healthy dose of imagination, campers will travel back in time and forward into the future to solve a new challenge each week.
Can you build a castle with a working drawbridge? Can you design a catapult that fires accurately enough to defend against intruders? This week, campers will use two simple machines — pulleys and levers — along with lots of imagination to build castles, complete with offense and defense systems.
