Over three packed days, CREA’s Summer Camp turns an industrial Brooklyn studio into a kinetic laboratory for kids: motion-sensor games, glowing puzzles, climbing challenges and maker projects that blend active play with STEAM learning. Each day moves from a 60‑minute action adventure through multiple interactive zones into a Design Lab where campers build, code, design and test projects centered on an environmental theme.

THE SPACE

A fully stocked interactive STEAM studio

CREA’s space comes equipped with laptops, tablets, maker tools and crafting supplies so campers can move seamlessly between physical play and digital making without families needing to supply gear.

THE PLAY

Motion-sensor games and climbing zones

Campers begin each day with a 60-minute CREA Adventure across ten action-packed zones where they run, climb, jump and solve challenges that mix traditional play with technology.

THE MAKING

Design Lab: build, code and playtest

After the adventure, kids enter the Design Lab to craft stories, create interactive animations, build 3D models and explore game-development steps from planning to playtesting with an environmental focus.
