Use tools and supplies for their intended camp projects and camp side quests (not for their personal projects)? We're NOT printing fidget toys in 3D Printing camp!
Clean up after themselves at lunch and at the end of each day (with reminders and time given :))?
Reliable at following directions the first time. Sometimes these directions are critical safety directions and sometimes they are project directions. Does your kiddo…
Listen to directions the first time?

Resilient. Launchpad challenges even the most gifted kids. Because campers are mostly teaching themselves incredibly challenging skills, and then trying out whether they've taught themselves those skills effectively once they apply them to the project, there will be plenty of failures and frustration during the course of the week. Campers cheer “I did a thing!” when they succeed at something because each step is challenging.
We are so excited for you to join us! If you have any questions contact us at admin@launchpadincubator.org.
