For a unique camp experience, look no further than the Makerbot store on Greenwich Avenue! The camp’s 3-D printing technology offers a rare alternative to typical summer activities, challenging children to combine creative skills with problem solving and planning.

The store’s site explains, “With guidance from a MakerBot Retail Operator, campers ages 7-14 can learn how to make and customize their own 3D print from start to finish. They’ll also have fun using the 3D Photo Booth to make 3D self portraits to remix with their new creations.”

The result? Not only does the camp offer a fun and exciting experience, but it equips children with tools to apply their imaginations into a concrete result.
