Accept the Challenge Camp places teams of participants in situations and activities that are open-ended and engaging, and draw on a wide range of interests and talents, from technical to theatrical.  Our hands-on challenges allow teams and team members to take true ownership and responsibility for their solutions, fostering accountability and self confidence.  The real impact happens by way of the PROCESS participants use in developing solutions, and the short debriefs that help facilitate learning.  But, hey, it’s camp, so kids are having so much fun they may not recognize the valuable skills they’re developing.  You’ll  notice!

 

Each four-hour session of this camp incorporates warm-ups, teambuilding, skills workshops, Creative Problem Solving Tools, Instant Challenges, performance challenges and task/building challenges.  Naturally, the team building and complexity of challenges grow each day, but in a positive and fun way.  At the end of the week, parents are invited to come see these terrific teams in action and try their own hands at an Instant Challenge!

My 8 year old daughter and my 11 year old son both participated in this camp in 2007. They really had an awesome time! The camp really helps kids think creatively and learn real problem solving/analytical skills but they think they are just having fun with a bunch of new friends! I would really recomend this for any child who enjoys thinking outside of the box. Parents will like the fact that the camp is well supervised by peopel who understand gifted and creative kids.
