A week of high-energy, sensor-driven play and hands-on STEAM projects for kids; this guide explains what a typical day looks like and the practical details families need to enroll.
STEAM-Powered Active Play: CREA Summer Camp — "Amazing Butterflies" (Session 7, July 27–31) in Brooklyn.
In a converted industry-space in Brooklyn, CREA’s Summer Camp funnels childhood energy into a deliberately engineered playground of motion-sensor games, climbing challenges, glowing puzzles and team problem-solving. By day campers race through action-packed zones built to spark movement and curiosity, then settle into a design lab where coding, storytelling and model-making turn playful inquiry into tangible projects.

60 Minutes of High-Intensity, Tech-Infused Play
Camp days begin with CREA’s signature one-hour Adventure across ten interactive zones — a mix of running, climbing, jumping and motion-sensor challenges that combine physical play with simple technology-driven puzzles.
Design Lab: Build, Code and Tell Stories
After the Adventure, campers move into a STEAM-focused Design Lab to create stories, build 3D models, make interactive animations and learn programming and basic game design tied to the week’s environmental theme.
Fully Stocked Maker Space
CREA provides laptops, tablets, crafting supplies and maker tools so campers only need to bring their curiosity and a nut-free lunch, snack and water bottle; the camp supplies the rest of the STEAM gear.

Mornings are kinetic and loud in the best way: groups cycle through interactive zones where movement solves puzzles and fuels team missions. Later the pace shifts to focused making in the Design Lab, where students translate their playtime discoveries into prototypes, animations and coded projects as part of a structured exploration of design thinking and game development.
