One parent's testimonial


Destination ImagiNation® is one of the world's largest creativity and problem solving programs for youth of all ages, with thousands of participants in 47 US states, 15 countries and Canadian provinces participating annually.

The Destination ImagiNation® program helps kids build important, lifelong skills, such as problem solving, teamwork and divergent thinking.

Teams solve two types of Challenges within the program year. The Central Team Challenge involves structural, technical or theatrical oriented Challenges and takes several months to solve. Throughout that time the teams also practice improvisational Instant Challenges, which stimulate the team’s ability to think quickly and creatively with only minutes to prepare solutions.

When tournament time rolls around, each team’s score reflects its Central Team Challenge performance plus its response to an Instant Challenge. (More about the Team Challenge.)   |  (More about Instant Challenge.)
