We have state-of-the-art equipment and expert instructors to help campers grow and develop their skill with the best recourses right at their fingertips! At the edge of camp we have 3 lean-too’s for different activities.

“Isengard” – The Blacksmithing Forge

The first one, “Isengard” is for our blacksmiths, where we have 2 forges complete with anvils, grinders, and more hammers than you’ve ever seen! People have been forging metal for over 3,500 years and now your camper can follow in their footsteps.

“Fangorn Forest” –

The second one located right next door is, of course, “Fangorn Forest” for those adventurers who like to work with wood. Build something small or big, simple or intricate; we have tools for everything you’d ever want to make…and if we don’t, we can make them! Chop, saw, whittle, carve, and enjoy the pride of creating something with your own hands.

Lastly, the third one is for our more technological-oriented campers (STEM in the woods!), the “R2-Lean2.” In here Campers can learn how to build, program and battle different robots! They also can help design, build, and code different machinery and computers. For example, last summer we built an arcade machine and a 3-D printer completely from scratch!

Why Choose Our Engineering Summer Camps for High Schoolers?

High school-level engineering summer camps are not created equal. We have created an entirely different thing at Long Lake Camp Adventures. We do not simply study engineering here; we experience it. Any little bit of curiosity becomes a reality, something tangible, something they can possess, touch, and be proud of.

In this case, the campers do not sit through lectures.

They also make metal in the blacksmithing forge, wood in the workshop, and robots that move, respond, and compete with codes. It is the type of practical learning that is retained, the type of learning that develops ability and self-confidence.

Our teachers are not just teachers; they are makers, engineers, and creators who are patient and enthusiastic to help teens go through all difficulties. Smaller groups allow each camper the opportunity for attention, guidance, and liberty of experimentation.

Our engineering camps are located in the center of the Adirondacks, which is a place of discovery and tranquility. It is a place of creativity and ideas being realized, way off the screens and distractions.

Then, be that as it may, you will find the best engineering summer camps, or just an adventure that will challenge the teenager to think, build, and grow. 

Long Lake Camp Adventures is where young engineers get the spark and the courage to go with it.

Skills Developed at Our Engineering Camps

The projects, builds, and experiments at Long Lake camp adventures not only instruct technique but also form the attitude of an actual engineer. Our engineering summer camp programs are aimed at enabling teenagers to be creative thinkers, problem solvers, and, more importantly, to build the courage to bring ideas to life.

The campers can walk away with a combination of technical, creative, and personal skills that not only last with them long after the summer is over:

• Hands-On Technical Skills

Campers gain knowledge on how to effectively use actual tools, equipment, and technology safely. They can build metal and create wooden projects, and even learn to program a robot; they acquire the type of experience that makes a theory into a practice.

• Creative Design Thinking

All the obstacles in camp force campers to improvise in their minds. They get to know how to analyze, modify, and enhance, whether they are refining a design, repairing a circuit, or reengineering a build, all important skills that a future engineer will need to know.

1. Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking

Every challenge at camp pushes campers to think on their feet. Whether they’re adjusting a design, fixing a circuit, or reworking a build, they learn how to analyze, adapt, and improve, key skills for any future engineer.

• Teamwork and Communication

Teen engineering summer camps with a teen focus on teamwork. Campers collaborate to complete group projects, brainstorm and offer each other encouragement, learning how to communicate and become a leader, which helps them succeed during and outside the workshop.

• Confidence and Independence

Above all, campers are going back knowing what they can do. They have constructed actual projects manually and have come to rely on their instincts. Such confidence can be enjoyed much longer than the summer.

In Long Lake Camp Adventures, we make teenagers creative into confident, and curious into skilled with our engineering summer camps.

The campers can walk away with a combination of technical, creative, and personal skills that not only last with them long after the summer is over:

Engineering Projects Campers Create

At the Long Lake Camp Adventures, campers can spend their days on real projects, practical experience, and training on what they can do with their ideas and turn them into a complete product. Our engineering summer camps equip the teens with the tools, materials, and instructions to create, construct, and solve problems in a favorable environment.

Blacksmithing and Metalwork Projects

Campers in the forge cut metal into pieces of useful and creative metal. They are taught the basics of heating, hammering, and finishing so as to produce tools, hooks, sculptures, and novice blades. Every project develops concentration, patience, and competence.

Woodworking and Carpentry Builds

At the woodshop, campers make and construct useful projects such as cutting boards, stools, or, in fact, the soapbox derby cars. They draw, cut, and put their designs together, learning to be craftsmen and focus on detail.

Robotics and Coding Creations

At our robotics lab, campers create and give life to robots. They are playing with the wiring, sensors and code to develop working machines. Previous campers constructed arcade machines, 3D printers and robot battle systems.

Cross-Disciplinary Projects

A large number of campers integrate the abilities of multiple workshops. They could construct wooden and metal constructions, install mechanical elements, or perform some coding in order to make their work move or illuminate. The projects taken by each camper are according to his/her interests and the level of skill.

Our engineering camps involve practical-based learning. Campers become confident, gain technical capacity, and creativity that will be helpful to them even after the summer is over. Long Lake Camp Adventures provides the ideal combination of fun, challenge, and actual outcomes to those families desiring engineering summer camp services for high school students or the best engineering summer camp services for teens.

FAQs

What hands-on projects can teens build at engineering camps?

The projects that campers construct are very varied, such as forged metal tools, wooden furniture, soapbox derby cars, robots, and 3D printers. All the projects are structured to impart real engineering and design skills.

Do campers work with real tools and technology at engineering camps?

Yes. Professional guidance is provided, and campers use genuine tools, machines, and materials. They are taught how to handle forges, woodworking equipment, and robotics gadgets safely.

Can beginners join engineering summer camps for teenagers?

Absolutely. Teenagers are welcome to our engineering summer camps irrespective of the level of skills. The beginners will have guided projects and get basic knowledge, and then proceed to advanced builds.

What qualifications do engineering instructors have?

Our teachers were professionals in engineering, trades, or STEM. Their area of expertise is to teach teens the practical skills safely and effectively.

Do campers work with real tools and technology at engineering camps?

Yes. Using professional equipment and technology in mini groups under the guidance of small groups gives the campers direct experience and guarantees safety and learning.
