Building Momentum and our neighbor Sportrock are excited to offer a collaborative summer camp experience for students. During this week long camp, students will be able to explore the STEM world in addition to being physically active while climbing. Students will spend half the day learning Computer Aided Design (CAD), 3D printing, soldering, electronics, and drone piloting at Building Momentum and the other half of the day will be spent at Sportrock’s Indoor Base Camp.
The Indoor Base Camp introduces kids to rock climbing at Sportrock’s indoor facilities. From climb time, to large scale obstacle courses, this week is jam packed with activities. This is a great place to start for brand new climbers, and young climbers looking to up their technical climbing skills!

In this 5 day camp, students will build a base of a battle bot robot. Using Arduino coding, students will learn the basics of coding and components of electronic devices. Students will then apply their knowledge of Arduino coding to program their robots to complete tasks such as follow a tape line, stop when a sensor detects an object in-front of the robot, etc. The week will conclude with students using the engineering design process to modify their robots for battle on the last day. Students will use recyclable materials, 3D printed and laser cut objects. Camp will run from 9:00am - 3:00pm with a 45 minute lunch break. There will also be snack and brain breaks during the day.
