Rocket to Creativity

June 22-26, 2026, | 10am to 3pm (Day Camp)
Ages 7-14
Killian Building, WCU Main Campus

This camp is designed to nurture creative and critical thinking in a fun, supportive environment. Children who are 7 (by August 31st) through 14 years old may choose from a variety of projects that range from creating Rube Goldberg Machines, filming a news broadcast, creating an invention, solving a world problem, myth-busting, crime scene investigation, archaeology, and more. Children will be working in small groups with an approximate ratio of 1:5, providing a personalized creative experience for each child. Participants also can participate in a “maker space” to complete creative challenges.  On Friday, parents are invited to a showcase of the creative projects developed during the week.   Registration is limited to the first 60 children.  Scholarships are available.
