CREA Summer Camp—Session 3 (June 29–July 3) brings city kids into a hands-on STEAM playground at Industry City 253 36th Building 3 2nd Floor, Space C259 Brooklyn, NY, 11232. Designed for ages 4–12, this five-day day camp mixes active play with tech-driven design projects so campers leave with new skills and finished creations they can be proud of. It’s urban, concentrated, and built around movement plus maker lessons.
Each morning opens with a motion-forward Adventure: motion-sensor games, glowing puzzles, climbing challenges, and ten action-packed zones that turn the floor into a problem-solving course. After a movement session, campers move to CREA's Design Lab where they build, code, design animations, and prototype 3D models tied to the week’s ocean-conservation theme. The curriculum blends storytelling, programming, and game-design fundamentals with eco-themed projects that reinforce real-world thinking.
Logistics are child-friendly: early drop-off at 8:30am and late pick-up at 4pm are available; the core schedule includes freeplay, two movement sessions, two Design Lab blocks, and an outdoor lunch and play period. CREA offers one- through five-day options to fit a family’s calendar; group sizes cap at 20 participants, keeping instruction focused and hands-on. Laptops, tablets, maker tools, and craft supplies are provided—families supply a nut-free lunch, snack, and a water bottle, and campers should dress for active play.
Why book this camp in Brooklyn? CREA occupies a compact tech-and-play space inside Industry City, an industrial-complex-turned-creative-hub, making it an efficient city alternative to longer commutes. The program is notable for combining physicality with screen-based creation: kids sprint through interactive zones to unlock design challenges, then flip into quieter maker-mode to prototype solutions. That mix keeps high-energy learners engaged while scaffolding creative confidence in coding and design thinking.
Sample projects from past weeks include building water-quality sensors from simple components, coding an ocean-cleanup game, and 3D-printing a miniature coral reef model—projects that connect makerspace tools to conservation themes. Counselors guide campers through testing, iteration, and presentation so each child practices communication and troubleshooting. Enrollment fills fast for summer weeks; early booking is recommended. CREA’s compact format makes it easy for city families to add a week of concentrated hands-on STEM without a long drive.
Parents will appreciate the clear daily rhythm and practical focus on learning outcomes: campers practice collaboration, basic programming logic, storyboarding, and iterative design in projects tied to ocean conservation. Staffed for small cohorts, CREA emphasizes safety and inclusive play; the site lists a 20-participant maximum and age range 4–12. Whether your child wants to engineer a mini-invention, animate a short story, or tackle a motion-game obstacle, CREA’s Summer Camp—Session 3 offers a condensed, project-rich week of learning and play at Industry City.
