In the “Amplified”™ module, your youngster will invent bionic gadgets while journeying to acquire superhuman senses. During “I Can Invent: Pinbug”™ kids will build an epic, insect-themed pinball machine. Make this the year your child discovers his love for science. www.campinvention.org

Feed Mental and Physical Development – Tiger Rock Martial Arts

Tiger Rock Martial Arts helps children grow in every way. Your child will learn leadership, respect for elders, goal setting, and self confidence. Your child will also develop physically – strength, endurance, and accuracy. Many coaches for other sports love for their kids to have martial arts training – it helps them hit baseballs, drive soccer balls, run, jump, and focus their power. Southeast Texas is blessed to have a number of great Tiger Rock Martial Arts Academies – there is one near you!
