Playground Builders: Designing the World’s Coolest Park!

Get ready to go on countless playground adventures as you turn your classroom into a huge wooden jungle gym! With rope ladders to climb, wooden bridges to build, and slides to assemble, you’ll work together as a construction crew to hammer, drill, and build a big playground made for movement and fun. As they build super-sized climbing towers and sturdy paths, campers will try things out, notice what feels wobbly, and make changes to help their playground stand strong. Some parts might wobble at first, and that’s when we’ll help each other, try again, and celebrate each improvement. By the end of the week, you’ll hear, “I want another turn!” as Explorers climb, slide, and play on the world’s coolest playground they built together.

Campers will:

• Build giant wooden playground equipment using real woodworking tools to construct ladders, bridges, towers, and paths made for climbing and super-sized movement.
  
• Practice resilience through building by testing their structures, noticing wobbles, and working together to fix, strengthen, and improve each design.
  
• Celebrate their hard work as they climb, slide, and play on the world’s coolest playground they built together from the ground up.
  

Water Park Carnival: Build, Splash, and Play!

Step inside our fun, splash-tacular Water Park Carnival filled with spinning water attractions, bright carnival booths, and robotic arcade games! Bring your tool belt and swim suit, because you’re joining a huge engineering team bringing these carnival games to life. From hands-on building to playful robot projects, our Explorers will try out different ways to make games move, splash, and spin. Explorers will play their games, discover ways to make them even more fun, and iterate to help their creations work even better. Every attraction is built for action, as children play-test their creations in the classroom and outside in the sun. Join us in opening the Water Park Carnival, where our builders get to play the games they helped make.

Campers will:

• Build splashy carnival games and summer carnival attractions using a blend of robotics and woodworking to create spinning, pouring, and moving features.
  
• Test and improve their games by playing, splashing, and noticing how small changes can make each attraction more fun and exciting.
  
• Celebrate at the Water Park Carnival as they open their games, invite friends to play, and enjoy the attractions they helped create.
