CREA’s Summer Camp Session 5 (July 13th–July 17th) turns Industry City into a weekday laboratory of motion and invention for kids ages four to twelve. Located at Industry City 253 36th Building 3 2nd Floor, Space C259 Brooklyn, NY, 11232, the program pairs energetic play with hands on STEAM learning inside a repurposed industrial complex on Brooklyn’s waterfront. Mornings start with kinetic, game like challenges across ten action packed zones: motion sensor arenas, glowing puzzle stations, climbing routes and obstacle lanes that invite campers to run, jump, climb and problem solve. Those active bursts feed directly into the Design Lab, where laptops, tablets and maker tools await. Over the course of each day campers rotate between physical adventures and design sessions that teach basic coding, animation, three dimensional modeling and prototyping, all tied to an environmental theme—building eco friendly solutions, testing ideas and iterating through play. What makes CREA’s program a standout in New York City is the seamless blend of high energy movement and project based tech learning under one roof. Many children’s programs separate screen time from physical play; CREA combines them so a child might sprint through a sensor maze and immediately prototype a mechanism inspired by that experience. The space is fully stocked—CREA supplies devices, craft materials and maker tools—so families only need to provide a nut free lunch, snacks and a refillable water bottle. Drop off options include early drop and late pick up, and half day or full day schedules fit busy family calendars. Safety and capacity are practical priorities: weekly sessions cap at twenty participants, staff guide group challenges, and activities are scaled for the 4–12 age range. Open play and team missions encourage social skills, creative risk taking and confidence with both tools and software—outcomes that translate to classrooms and playgrounds alike. For visitors and local families the camp occupies a unique niche inside Industry City: a modern maker playground in a converted warehouse complex adjacent to waterfront parks and transit links. CREA’s environmental focus adds a local twist, prompting projects that reference urban ecology and sustainable design. Practical booking notes: sessions are listed as one to five day options; the camp meets at Industry City 253 36th Building 3 2nd Floor, Space C259 Brooklyn, NY, 11232; group size limit is twenty; ages four through twelve accepted. Owner or operator information is not provided in the listing. If you’re planning a Brooklyn summer with curiosity and movement at the center, CREA’s camp offers a practical, playful way to build skills and burn energy in equal measure. Book early to secure spots during peak weeks, bring labeled gear, and communicate any dietary or accessibility needs ahead of time to ensure a smooth experience.
