BROOKLYN WORKSHOP FIELD GUIDE
STEAM-Powered Active Play in Brooklyn: CREA’s Coral Reef–Themed Summer Camp (Session 10)
A five-day, hands-on STEAM workshop where kids move through motion-sensor games, climbing challenges, and design labs to build eco-minded projects—this guide explains what families should expect and how each day unfolds.
STEAM-Powered Active Play in Brooklyn: CREA’s Coral Reef–Themed Summer Camp (Session 10).
In a converted Industry City studio, CREA’s Summer Camp compresses a week of play, puzzles and invention into a kinetic STEAM incubator for kids. Each day combines an hour-long, zone-driven adventure of climbing, running and motion-sensor challenges with focused time in a Design Lab where campers build, code and prototype projects inspired by the week’s environmental theme.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A fully stocked interactive STEAM space
The camp supplies laptops, tablets, crafting materials and maker tools so kids can jump straight into coding, animation and 3D modeling without families needing to bring equipment.
Action-packed, sensor-driven adventure zones
Campers begin each day with a 60-minute CREA Adventure across multiple interactive zones that mix traditional play with technology — running, climbing, jumping and dodging through challenges designed around the weekly theme.
Design Lab: build, test and tell stories
After the physical adventure, kids move into the Design Lab to learn storytelling, programming and game-design basics as they prototype eco-friendly projects and experiment with interactive animations and 3D models.
What the day feels like
What a week feels like
Mornings pulse with high-energy play in ten action-packed zones; later sessions slow to hands-on workshop tempo in the Design Lab where ideas are sketched, coded and built. The rhythm—movement first, making second—keeps campers engaged while layering physical exploration with the practical steps of design thinking and game development.
