Smart fun: Lakeland kids enjoy Camp Invention

The absorbing tasks of Camp Invention at Lakeland Elementary School required the full attention of boys and girls alike this week. The weeklong day camp for students entering grades one through six fosters innovation and creativity while also building self-esteem, teamwork, persistence and goal-setting skills.

Students are encouraged to exercise their creativity and use their imagination in ways they don’t normally get to use it, through real-world problem solving. Camp Invention serves more than 87,000 students every year through more than 1,300 camps across the nation.
