Imagination Station’s Summer Day Camp kicks off

Campers invent, build and explore!

Toledo, Ohio – Imagination Station’s Summer Day Camp program is officially underway. Campers arrived before 9:00am this morning, eager to start an exciting, new experience.  Catapults, Coasters and Cars!, the theme of this year’s summer camp, will give these kids an opportunity to explore the world of engineering through a series of hands-on investigations, design challenges and building activities, including building rockets and catapults, zip-lines and bridges and even paddlewheel boats. All week long, campers will be preparing for a “design show” to take place on the last day so that visitors to Imagination Station can view their creations on site.

“Engineering is a versatile topic that offers people a wide variety of career opportunities, which is why we chose it as our focus for the day camp,” said Jamie Pafford, Outreach Manager for Imagination Station. “By getting kids excited about what they can make and do at such a young age, we have an opportunity to really impact their career choices, all while they are having fun.”

Camps run weekly through August 6, 2010. Space is still available, so if your child is interested in participating in this exciting summer camp, please call 419.244.2674 for more information. Imagination Station Summer Camps are sponsored by Kroger.

The Imagination Station, located on the downtown Toledo riverfront, is a science center dedicated to delivering science and technology based programming to youth and their families throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.
