Camp Inventions planned for Coshocton County
This summer in Coshocton County, nearly 200 local students will have the opportunity to attend the Camp Invention® program through the commitment of the area’s many community leaders.
Through area organizations’ 2024 financial support, local students will attend Camp Invention this year at three regional locations: River View Elementary School, Warsaw, the week of June 17; Coshocton Elementary School, Coshocton, the week of June 24; and Ridgewood Middle School, West Lafayette, the week of July 8.
While the local programs are open to all children, any children living in Coshocton County or attending a Coshocton County school can register at a reduced price of $40.
Camp Invention, the nation’s premier summer enrichment program for children entering kindergarten through sixth grade, is a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame® in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Using hands-on activities, Camp Invention promotes STEM learning — as well as builds confidence, leadership, perseverance, resourcefulness and problem-solving skills — in a fun and engaging environment.
Through the support of the Coshocton Foundation, which includes the Blessings Fund, Edwin F. Mulligan Endowed Fund, Simpson Family Donor Advised Fund, Pierce Family Fund, and the Ralph D. & Judy P. Wisenburg Fund, and local organizations including Coshocton Kiwanis Club, Coshocton Rotary Club, McWane Ductile and The Montgomery Foundation, local children continue to have a fun learning opportunity they could have otherwise missed.
“It’s remarkable how Coshocton County pulls together, year after year, to encourage and support our students in learning and experiencing critical STEM disciplines,” said Bob Pell, executive director of the Coshocton Foundation. “The best part of the Camp Invention experience is to visit our local sites and see what our young innovators come up with this year.”
