Get ready for another summer of exciting opportunities at TWCA RISE! Our dedicated TWCA staff has designed a wide range of academic, athletic, fine arts, and interest-based programs to keep students engaged and growing during the summer break.

Our specialized camps provide the perfect chance for students to recharge—spiritually, intellectually, creatively, physically, and socially—while spending time with friends and teachers.

Adventures in Constructing & Exploding
Ages: 4th - 6th
Cost: $285
Leader: Carolyn Magnuson
Time: 9 am - 12 pm

Get ready for an adventure full of hands-on challenges and creative experiments! This camp is all about turning your ideas into real-life inventions. You’ll design and build a boat to see how much weight it can carry while staying afloat, test your engineering skills in an egg drop challenge to protect your egg from a big fall, and launch 2-liter bottles into the air for some explosive fun. We’ll even dive into the world of Thomas Edison and work together to invent a light bulb that stays lit!

This camp is perfect for curious 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who love building, experimenting, and seeing their ideas come to life. If you're ready to think outside the box, get creative, and have a blast, this camp is for you!
