June 17-21
Cardboard Arcade
This week, campers will work creatively within the confines of various sets of limitations to turn recycled materials into a functioning arcade. We will celebrate their accomplishments by playing each other’s games.
Unlock Your Child's Potential
A growth mindset is the most powerful tool a child can have for tackling challenges and opportunities they’ll encounter in life.
At Neuron Garage, Campers 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.

Weeks Offered at This Location:

July 22-26
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.
June 10-14
Medieval Times: Castles & Catapults
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.

Puppet Theater
From simple sock puppets to meticulous marionettes, there are endless possibilities when designing puppets. Along with puppets, this week campers will have the opportunity to design and build sets, and write and perform short skits.

Mission Possible
Can you build a case to protect a super-delicate secret package from bumps and drops? Can you build an airplane to carry that package safely over a raging sea? This week, campers will team up as Secret Agents on a mission to transport high-value, sensitive packages across various obstacles!

Dream Homes
If you could wake up tomorrow in any home, what would it look like? This week, campers will be designers and builders as they construct and furnish the homes of their dreams.
July 24-28
Space Survival
If you crash-landed on an unknown planet, what would you do? Would you stay and build shelter, or would you fix your engine and design a new spaceship? This week, campers will race against the clock to create spaceships, shelters, and other necessities for outer space survival.
July 31-August 4
Structural Integrity
How high can your tower go? How much weight can your bridge hold? This week, campers will take on a series of building challenges with limited resources and unlimited creativity.

Invention Convention
Can you create something that solves a problem? Or something that would bring you joy? This week, campers come up with an idea and a plan, and then get busy building, testing, and redesigning as they learn from their successes and setbacks.

Robin Schwab, M.Ed.
I just finished my 25th year in education, having taught elementary grades, special education and, more recently, gifted education. My most recent teaching experience in gifted education has allowed me to teach STEAM and focus on students learning with a growth mindset.
Neuron Garage interests me because of how it is based on these two things and allows children to learn while they play. I’m most excited about bringing the Neuron Garage experience to LeafSpring this summer because of how much fun both the guides and the campers have during the week!
