Summer Camp 2017

When school is out, camp is in! The Discovery Center incorporates fun, hands-on, inquiry-based learning into all of our camps. Campers are divided into different age groups each with their own Camp Counselor and age-appropriate lessons packed with hands-on games and activities designed to help campers learn, socialize and have fun! Each camp offers opportunity for exploration of museum exhibits and free play outdoors, weather permitting. Snack is provided by Discovery Center each afternoon.

Summer camps are for rising K – 5th graders. Is your camper too young? Check out our SPARK! camps for four and five-year-olds not entering kindergarten.

Camp programs run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Extended care is available from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., for an additional $20/week.
