In this indoor camp, students will imagine themselves stranded on an abandoned island filled with perilous obstacles – dark caves, wild animals, cold temperatures, little food, and separation from the comforts of home. They will work collaboratively with their tribe members to compete against other tribes in specific engineering-related projects aimed at trying to survive the harsh island conditions and escape to their freedom. Make a flshlight, electromagnet, powerboat and more. The tribe with the most points at the end of the week will claim the honor of being the winners of Survivor Island!
