About Destination ImagiNation®

Destination ImagiNation® is the World's Largest
Creative Problem Solving Program for Kids!

Over 200,000 students in over 56 countries and the United States participate in Destination Imagination®. This popular process-based program helps young people build lifelong skills in creative and critical thinking, teamwork, time management and problem solving.

Up to seven participants work together as a team for eight to twelve weeks to create their unique solution to a Team Challenge, which can have a focus that is theatrical, structural, improvisational, scientific or technical - or a blend of several disciplines.

Teams also learn and practice creative quick-thinking skills for the Instant Challenge portion of the program. Destination ImagiNation helps young people learn in a fun and supportive environment, and the valuable skills they have acquired will be with them for a lifetime.

Participants learn unique and critical life skills including teamwork, critical and creative thinking, project management, resource management, mutual respect, research and presentation skills and, as all challenges must be strictly team-solved, self-reliance. These skills make Destination ImagiNation participants more valuable to their communities and as future employees.

Creativity is not just a school-year activity. Many state, local and international affiliates offer creativity activities for kids all year. This includes summer camps that incorporate all of the fun, thoughtful and team-centered activities that make learning interesting.

The Destination ImagiNation® is the flagship program of the non-profit Destination ImagiNation®, Inc.
