- Description: Campers think, create, and develop their problem-solving skills through this unique art and puzzle combo camp. Campers spend part of each day creating lovely and fascinating objets d'art with a twist of geometry, from mobiles and Mobius strips, Sierpinski's triangle and Swirltown, to pointillism and pentagons. They view art from a geometrical point of view, learn terms of geometry naturally in the context of art projects, and discover how closely geometry and art are related. During the other part of the day, campers puzzle out solutions to a wide range of puzzles, primarily 3-D ones. They log their progress and successes, articulate how they solved their puzzles, and leave camp with an assortment of general problem-solving strategies applicable to puzzles, math, school, and life.
