Description:   

Bored of summer being... boring? Step into the action at Gizmo!
Join other curious minds in tackling real challenges with the coolest tools around—laser cutters, 3D printers, electronics, and more. With Gizmologists by your side, you’ll brainstorm, design, prototype, and build wild solutions to prompts that actually need solving. You’re not just learning—you are the solution.

Every project is a chance to explore new ideas, experiment fearlessly, and make something amazing with your own hands. No experience needed—just bring your imagination, your determination, and a readiness to get messy (in the best way possible).

Scholarship Information: Gizmo reserves half of all camp spots for scholarship recipients. Scholarships are based on financial need and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Gizmo uses a sliding scale system for scholarships: you decide what your family can reasonably contribute toward your child's camp experience, and Gizmo covers the difference. Families may apply for one scholarship per child, per summer, for the camp(s) of their choosing. To apply for a scholarship, please complete the Summer 2025 Scholarship Application form, which is accessible by clicking here. Upon approval of your application, you will be provided with instructions on how to register your child for camp. Please do not attempt to register prior to receiving a confirmation from Gizmo.

Empowering Parents: Gizmo accepts Empowering Parents grant funds!. Learn more about this program at empoweringparents.idaho.gov . Call us at (208)-929-4029 or email info@gizmo-cda to register using your  Empowering Parents grant funds.

Cancellation Policy: If your child is no longer able to attend camp, you may cancel your registration up to 10 days prior to the start of camp for a 90% refund. (Gizmo retains 10% to cover our administrative/transaction costs.) Refunds will generally not be issued for cancellations within 10 days of camp, nor missed camp days.

Camp Policies & Procedures: Prior to completing camp registration, families should be familiar with our 2025 Camp Policies and Camper Code of Conduct. In addition, each camper is required to have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian prior to participating in camp activities. You can access the youth waiver here.
