Camp Invention has now spread to Ridgewood

By Marianne Austin

Camp Invention is a STEM summer camp where kids build creative inventions designed to inspire confidence and persistence and improve reading skills .

Every day during Camp Invention at Ridgewood Middle School , kids learned their ideas matter . This program promotes a supportive environment with the idea that learning can be fun .

“ This was Ridgewood ’ s first year to host Camp Invention , and the outpouring of students coming has been tremendous . We have 90 campers registered . They send us everything we need , and it ’ s all in boxes , and everything is scripted out . The instructors are teachers , and we have high school student interns ,” Director

Every day during Camp Invention at Ridgewood Middle School , kids learned their ideas matter .

Jaque McPherson said .

She also was appreciative of everyone who donated to Camp Invention .

“ We ’ re appreciative of all of the donors that have made it possible because our students only had to pay $ 35 ,” McPherson said . “ The Coshocton Foundation and other groups

that feed into the foundation supplied the rest of the funding for our kids to be able to come . It ’ s hands on . It ’ s all inventive and out of the box . Instead of spending the summer looking at their phones , they can learn skills that will help when they are older and looking for jobs that don ’ t exist now .”
