Summer camp students in the West Hempstead School District celebrated a week of creative learning during the district’s annual Camp Invention program from Aug. 11-15.
Camp Invention is a STEM-related summer camp program for students in grades K-6 that turns curious campers into innovative thinkers. The camp took place at George Washington School as students took part in numerous activities in different stations such as crafting a skate park, engineering an arcade-style claw machine, creating communicative devices, and more. Additionally, some of West Hempstead’s Secondary School students volunteered as camp counselors for their younger peers.
