June 5-9
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’ll 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:
June 12-16
Race Cars
Can you build a car out of recycled materials? How about a track to race it on? This week campers will use two simple machines — wheel + axle and inclined plane — along with lots of imagination, to build cars and tracks.
June 19-23
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 26-30
Medieval Times
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 defense systems for their castles.
July 5-7
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.
July 10-14
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!
July 17-21
Dream Homes
If you could wake up tomorrow in any home, what would it look like? This week, campers will be architects, builders, and interior designers 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.

Contact the Location Director:
Tanya Livingston
I have served as a preschool teacher, kindergarten aide, children’s ministries director and am currently a high school business educator.
This summer will be my second year as a Neuron Garage director. I enjoy getting to know campers, assisting them through complex project builds, and seeing campers develop and strengthen their growth mindsets. I have observed that allowing students to fail and learn from those failures builds confidence and problem solving skills.
