In Brooklyn, CREA’s Session 8 turns a summer week into a circuit of motion, puzzles and maker projects. Campers move through an interactive play environment—running, climbing and solving glowing puzzles—then shift into a STEAM Discovery Lab to build, code and design inventions rooted in the week’s environmental theme.

Highlights

Camp Highlights

THE SPACE

A fully stocked interactive STEAM tech lab

CREA’s tech space arrives ready: laptops, tablets, crafting supplies and maker tools are on-hand so campers can focus on building animations, 3D models and eco-friendly mini‑inventions without families needing to bring gear.

THE PLAY

The CREA Adventure — motion, puzzles and zones

Each camp day begins with a 60-minute CREA Adventure through ten action-packed zones where kids run, climb, jump and dodge while tackling challenges framed around environmental themes.

THE MAKING

Design Lab: storytelling, coding and playtesting

After the Adventure campers move into the Design Lab to craft stories, make interactive animations and build 3D models — learning fundamentals of storytelling, programming and game design through hands-on projects.

What the day feels like

What a week feels like

Days split between a kinetic, sensor-driven Adventure and a quieter but highly active Design Lab: a short, intense block of running, climbing and interactive play is followed by guided STEAM sessions where campers design, prototype and playtest projects tied to the week’s environmental theme.
