Children will have the opportunity to design miniature amusement park rides, create safe vehicles, and brainstorm on Planet ZAK when the "Camp Invention" program arrives at Millstone for the first time ever.

The program is scheduled for July 10-14 at Millstone Township Middle School.

The program, which is open to children entering first through sixth grades, was created in 1990 by the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation and receives support from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Joanne Schiumo, a teacher with the Millstone Township schools, will direct a staff of local instructors and counselors. The program features one staff member for every eight children. The registration fee is $199. The fee includes daily snacks and a T-shirt. A discount of $20 per child is offered with the "Bring a Buddy" program. Registrations received after May 31 will require a $10 late fee. Each program is limited to 110 children. For more information or to register, visit www.campinvention.org or call (800) 968-4332.
