Challenge Island - Arcade Mania Camp




ARCADE MANIA CAMP


This Kids-Choice Challenge Island adventure puts a 100% SCREEN-FREE STEAM twist on popular video games: From Super STEAMio to Island Blox to Mine Island to Fort Island to retro-inspired games like Space Aliens and Pinball Machines!  You and your STEAM Team will swap game consoles for creativity and joysticks for ingenuity and imagination as you take on Islands of low-tech STEAM challenges created with game-loving kids in mind!  



You may have noticed that we've shortened our camp day by a half hour.  We found that even with a snack time, campers were REALLY hungry by the time they left camp for the day.  However, we only tightened up our loose time and kept in all the STEAM builds and camp fun!

·      Our one-of-a-kind award-winning S.T.E.A.M. curriculum in the outdoors and related to environment

·      Opportunity for your child to develop their socio-emotional skills and 21st Century Skills in communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking, flexibility, sociability, teamwork, initiative, leadership, grit, and perseverance 

·      Hands-on STEAM Activities & Challenges EVERY day to grow and stretch our minds

·      Outdoor Games, Songs, & Open Play EVERY day

·      Campers bring a snack and Healthy Snacks (fruits) will also be provided
