LARUE COUNTY — The Camp Invention program returns to LaRue County this summer. A week of daytime excitement, children are immersed in imaginative play that both reinforces and supplements school-year learning through inquiry-based activities in science, technology, engineering, math (STEM), as well as history and the arts. America is facing a critical talent gap in these areas, known as the international "language" of innovation.

The Camp Invention program helps cultivate the ideas critical to STEM by encouraging exploration and curiosity during everyday activities so children understand that science is everywhere — fostering "whole system" thinkers.

Abraham Lincoln Elementary School is hosting the Camp Invention Innovate program July 5-9. To learn more about how to secure a spot in the program, visit www.campinvention.org or call 1-800-968-4332.

Camp director is Kathy Ross. She may be reached at 358-4112 or kathy.ross@larue.kyschools.us.
