Camp Invetion

Ethan participated in Camp Invention last summer and loved it, so we signed him up for it again this year. What it is, basically, is a week of activities where they take apart household items to create something new, play invention games, solve problems and have a lot of fun. I drop him off at 9 a.m and pick him back up at 3:30 p.m. and he LOVES it.

Today was the first day and he is on the blue team. (I have to mention that this year there seems to be only about half the participants there were last year.) They made up a team cheer, took apart items, made a structure from marshmallows and toothpicks (see attached picture which I'm glad I took before starting home because he ate the marshmallows in the car), began building helicopters with engines that work, played all kinds of logic games and had a great time. He was so excited when I picked him up and talked all the way home (wonder where he got that from?!?!). He can't wait to go back tomorrow.

We get to go on Friday to see all the things he has invented and so he can show off. I can't wait to see all he does.
