School is out June 10th–what do you have planned? The Children’s Museum is bringing Camp Invention to Bozeman June 13th-16th for the third year in a row! The weeklong day camp is designed for children entering Grades 1-6, and encourages inventive young minds through hands-on problem solving, using science, technology, engineering and mathematics in a fun and creative atmosphere. Camp has filled to capacity each year, and earned rave reviews from parents and kids alike. “My son can’t wait to go to Camp Invention again,” says one excited parent. “The curriculum is brought to life by an incredible group of local teachers. Any child who loves to build or create will have a blast.” Camp will run from 9am-3:30pm, at Whittier School, 511 North Fifth Avenue in Bozeman. Tuition is $235 and there are a limited number of scholarships available. Contact CMB to apply at (406) 522-9087. Learn more and register online at cmbozeman.org/ci/.
