This summer in Coshocton County, nearly 260 local students will have the opportunity to attend the Camp Invention® program through the commitment of the area’s many community leaders.
Through area organizations’ 2025 financial support, local students will attend Camp Invention this year at three regional locations:
- Coshocton Elementary School, Coshocton, the week of June 16
- Ridgewood Middle School, West Lafayette, the week of June 23
- River View Elementary School, Warsaw, the week of June 23
While the local programs are open to all children, any children living in Coshocton County or attending a Coshocton County school can register at a reduced price of $40. New for the 2025 camp season, local program sites also will have a limited number of Leaders-in-Training scholarships available.
Camp Invention, the nation’s premier summer enrichment program for children entering kindergarten through sixth grade, is a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame® in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Using hands-on activities, Camp Invention promotes STEM learning — as well as builds confidence, leadership, perseverance, resourcefulness and problem-solving skills — in a fun and engaging environment.
Through the support of the Coshocton Foundation, which includes the Blessings Fund, Edwin F. Mulligan Endowed Fund, Simpson Family Donor Advised Fund, Pierce Family Fund, and the Ralph D. & Judy P. Wisenburg Fund, and local organizations including Coshocton Kiwanis Club, Coshocton Rotary Club, Jones Metal Product Co., McWane Ductile and The Montgomery Foundation, along with individual donors, local children continue to have a fun learning opportunity they could have otherwise missed.
“It’s wonderful to see how our county’s business leaders and families pull together, year after year, to encourage and support local students in learning and experiencing critical STEM disciplines,” said Bob Pell, executive director of the Coshocton Foundation. “The best part of the Camp Invention experience is to visit our local sites to see firsthand the value of hands-on invention education in our community, and the positive impact it has on our young innovators!”
