Innovators Inc. – Bethesda
Overview
Does your camper love a challenge? Each Innovators group is presented with a unique problem that must be solved by the end of the week, such as revamping a failing restaurant complete with décor, cooking and new menus, curating a museum exhibit with their own artwork, or putting on a Broadway show. It’s all hands on deck as they work together through a series of projects that build not only new artistic and creative skills, but leadership abilities as well. With a wide range of themes, from natural disasters to history to time travel, this engaging week is sure to be a favorite!
This unique program includes a weekly field trip or expert workshop. Anticipated highlights for the upcoming summer include Expert Workshops with Squeals on Wheels, Culinary Workshops with Tiny Chefs, Field Trips to Ocean Dunes Waterpark, and more! Campers consider these experiences to be the highlight of the week!

Headfirst’s Got Talent
Places, everyone…it’s SHOWTIME! In this week of Performing Arts perfection, campers imagine, produce, and star in an original performance! Throughout the week, campers learn the ins and outs of show business including directing, casting, costuming, set design, scripting, and performing! Whether your camper loves to sing the solo, provide the comedic relief, dance their heart out, or mastermind the technology, every Innovator is an integral part of this production! If all the world’s a stage, the Innovators are ready for their big break! Includes a field trip to Performance at Adventure Theatre!
Where in the World is Headfirst Summer Camps?
During this jet-setting week of adventure and espionage, you’ll chase an international supervillain across the continents! You’ll solve puzzles, sample global games, and create masterpieces based on international landmarks as the Innovators’ team works together to save the world’s most precious artifacts and treasures. From engineering a model of the Sydney Harbor Bridge to competing in a Great Pyramid race, you’ll need to rely on both your grit and growing geography skills this week!
Medieval Mayhem
Venture forth, noble camper, and make this summer one for the ages! Join us at the Headfirst round table as we don the armor and embrace the magic of the Medieval era! You and the Innovators team will engineer catapults, craft your coat of arms, learn the aerodynamics of jousting, and make stained glass masterpieces. From legendary feasts to grand tournaments, you’ll test your knightly valor and royal wit in this enchanting week!
Party Planners
Put your party-planning skills to the test when you and the Innovators team are asked to plan a huge summer bash for an A-list crew of celebrities. You’ll investigate and sample festivities from around the world for fresh ideas, then collaborate on your own camp-worthy celebration. From creating decorations and favors to brainstorming original games and developing a thematic design, you’ll grow your creativity, management and hospitality skills. RSVP ‘YES!’ to this unforgettable event!
National Park Navigators
From canyons to caverns, glaciers to geysers – our country’s national parks are INCREDIBLE! This week the Innovators discover diverse habitats – including rainforests, deserts, mountaintops, and woodlands – as we navigate through a new landscape each day, including the Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, Saguaro National Park, and more! The Innovators will create terrariums, experiment with cornmeal canyons, play forest food chain games and earn their ranger badges. Join us as we become stewards of service for our beloved national treasures.
Magnificent Magicians
Abracadabra! A spellbinding week is brewing this summer at Headfirst Summer Camps! In our Magnificent Magicians week, the Innovators will create wonder in their world by learning sleight of hand tricks, concocting potions, and staging the ultimate illusions. Building off the traditions of magicians throughout history, and our most magical literary friends, the Innovators will learn techniques from Houdini, Hogwarts, and more! The fantastical fun this week is more than smoke and mirrors!
Museum Curators
The Innovators are commissioned to chair the next great metropolitan museum – inspired-by and featuring artwork solely created by kids! Campers will learn hands-on techniques and craft masterpieces using paint, clay, fabric, and more. They’ll explore the art of curating an experience as well as the importance of thematic design and storytelling. Their creativity runs wild as the Innovators work together to stage and take on the role of docents in their original institution, proving that each of us is already a masterpiece!
Earth Changes & Natural Disasters
Tsunamis, volcanoes and blizzards – oh my! You’ll be chasing wild weather while protecting the planet this week as the Innovators work together to save those in danger of extreme elements. You’ll need to recreate plate tectonics, experiment with erosion, and learn how to weather-proof homes and prevent wildfires all while dabbling in meteorology, geology and, of course, creativity.
