STEAM-Powered Active Play — CREA Summer Camp, Session 4 (July 6–10) — Solar System Edition.
Inside an interactive maker space in Brooklyn, CREA’s Summer Camp turns ordinary summer days into kinetic STEAM laboratories: campers move through motion-sensor games and glow puzzles, then transition into a Design Lab to build, code and prototype projects tied to the week’s theme. The program stitches active play and technology together so kids run, climb, design and test ideas in a sensory-rich setting that emphasizes creativity and problem-solving.

Each day begins with a 60-minute CREA Adventure where campers sprint, climb, jump and dodge through ten action-packed zones that blend physical challenges and interactive technology. After that kinetic hour, the group moves to the Design Lab to translate the day’s discoveries into stories, animations and prototypes—learning design thinking, basic programming and game-development workflow through play and collaborative projects.
