2026 INNO SUMMER INSTITUTE
Once Upon an Empire
Course Description
Have you ever wondered how the world began? How did we evolve into the humans we are today? In this course, we will explore the ancient civilizations of the world and the beginning of evolution. Each day, campers will be transported to a new location — ranging from ancient Greece to ancient China — where they will explore the cultures, innovations, and languages that shaped early societies. Along the way, campers will immerse themselves in activities and games that these ancient civilizations played. At the end of the two weeks, campers will get the chance to hone their creativity and use their newfound knowledge to create their own civilizations!
