Get ready to play, tinker, and invent! In this camp, first graders become toy makers as we discover how our favorite toys move, spin, and light up. Campers will design and build their own toys using recycled materials—then add cool features like moving parts and even circuits! Each day brings new chances to create, test, and play. Perfect for curious kids who love to imagine and make their own fun!
