Designed for Young Innovators: GrowFit’s Inventor’s Lab Camp is crafted specifically for kids in grades 1–3, with creative challenges and projects tailored to their developmental needs.

The Camp Day
Exciting Inventor Challenges: Each morning at GrowFit’s Inventor’s Lab brings a brand-new problem to solve! Campers begin with a quick introduction and guided prompt to spark ideas before diving into hands-on creation. They’ll design prototypes, test multiple solutions, and tackle engineering-style challenges that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and inventive thinking. From building simple mechanisms to refining their own innovative designs, every activity builds confidence and nurtures a love for creating in a fun and supportive environment.
Active Breaks: Throughout the morning, we incorporate regular movement and relaxation breaks to keep energy high and ideas flowing as campers work through their inventive challenges.
Afternoon All-Sports Fun: After noon, campers transition into our action-packed All-Sports Camp, where they enjoy a variety of games, teamwork activities, and high-energy movement to round out a full day of fun.
Daily Celebration: Each day concludes with a group session where campers share their creations, tests, and discoveries. Positive feedback from peers and counselors makes for a rewarding and energizing finish to a day filled with innovation and active play.
