This camp goes beyond the drawing board, providing opportunities for campers to build scale models, test their creations, and even participate in friendly design competitions. Through this immersive experience, campers will not only gain insight into the fascinating world of theme park engineering but also develop valuable skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and project management.

Join us for a summer of innovation, excitement, and the chance to turn dreams into reality.

Campers can expect to:

  •         Take a trip to Six Flags to tour the engineering designs of the rides, as well as evaluating their thrills
  •         Use CAD to design 3D-printed objects
  •         Design rides for the future
  •         Participate in first-hand physics experiments
  •         Battle Bot design competition
  •         Amusement Park Scavenger Hunt
