Young builders and inventors to meet, create

The Baltimore Sun

Camp Invention arrives at Forest Hill Elementary School tomorrow for a weeklong run.

Children entering grades one through five will design machinery from old appliances, have fun with physics, play amateur detectives and communicate with aliens.

During the version of the camp that was held at Ring Factory Elementary last week, students built cars, boats and planes - and antenna to contact spacemen.

Forest Hill, just north of Bel Air, is the last elementary school to participate in the camp program, sponsored by the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, Ohio.

"We focus on teamwork and problem-solving," said Jillian Bartholomew, director of Camp Invention at Ring Factory.

Tuition is $219; spaces are available. The school is at 2407 Rocks Road. Information: 800-968-4332, ext. 1952.
