Camp Invention to return In partnership with “Invent Now,” the Franklin Lakes Schools will offer the nationally-acclaimed Camp Invention program to children entering grades one through six. The week-long summer adventure in creativity immerses children in imaginative play that reinforces and supplements school-year learning in science, technology, engineering, and math. Participants will work together to seek innovative solutions to real-world challenges and sharpen critical 21st century learning skills such as teamwork and creative problem solving as they rotate through four modules each day that disguise learning as fun. Camp Invention will include Geo-Quest, set for July 15 through 19, and Spark II, which will be held July 22 through 29. Both weeks will be held at Colonial Road School. Geo-Quest participants navigate their way to treasure- filled caches and solve global challenges. Tools are invented to reveal hidden messages while exploring the realms of sky, sea, land, and underground. Children will take apart broken or unused appliances and re-engineer the gears to invent a “duck chucking device.” Spark II will have children exploring atoms, molecules, mixtures, and compounds to discover the science behind bouncy balls. Attendees will be introduced to tool safety as they disassemble a discarded household appliance and use its pieces and parts to invent a working, multi-step machine. The session includes high-energy games and global fun. Early registration discounts are available. Every registration includes a free Camp Invention T-shirt. Availability is limited; to register, visit www.campinvention.org or call (800) 968-4332.

After successfully raising three children and having an accomplished career in accounting, Elghamrawi has returned to her first love. Frequent vacations to the shore have inspired and fueled her passion for seascapes and contemporary art. Her art evokes a sense of peace and whimsy. The exhibit will be on display through May 31.
