Edison, Ford estates hosting summer camps

By EDISON AND FORD WINTER ESTATES - | May 29, 2024

The Edison and Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers is offering summer camps for grades K-5.

The camps are educational and focus on science, technology, engineering, and art and math (STEAM), while incorporating fun activities. Campers get to invent, design, build and learn in the same location where inventors Thomas Edison and Henry Ford invented some of the world’s best-known products.

As of last week, openings for grades 3-5 were still available in following camps:

– July 1-3: Space and Rockets from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The camp is part space science and part rocket science. Campers will learn about their place in the universe as they design and launch a water-powered rocket. Cost is $135 for members and $150 for non-members.

– July 22-26: Mechanical Marvels from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Campers will learn about simple machines, mechanical advantages and gear systems in the fast-moving camp. Cost is $225 for members and $250 for non-members.
