Campers gain hands-on experience with real-world circular economy practices and contribute to tangible community impact through their projects.
The Innovation Barn Circular Economy Camps offer hands-on, engaging experiences for campers aged 5-12, exploring sustainable design, recycling, upcycling, and robotics. Through interactive projects in plastics, textiles, ecology, and robotics, campers learn to reuse materials, reduce waste, and create innovative solutions for real-world environmental challenges. Activities include problem-solving, design challenges, and behind-the-scenes exploration of the Innovation Barn's recycling systems, such as sorting materials, reusing plastics, glass, and textiles, and creating sustainable gardens. Campers develop teamwork, creativity, and practical circular economy skills, culminating in a showcase exhibit where they present their creations to family and community members. The program aims to empower young innovators to make a tangible impact on their community by fostering an understanding of circular economy solutions and environmental stewardship.
A typical day includes engineering design challenges, problem-based learning, and behind-the-scenes activities at the Innovation Barn, such as sorting materials, reusing plastics, glass, and textiles, creating sustainable gardens, and designing eco-friendly projects.
This camp is best for young innovators aged 5-12 who are curious about sustainability, enjoy hands-on projects, and want to develop creative solutions for environmental challenges.
