At Discover Camp, we create an enriching experience for young campers led by certified teachers and skilled counselors. Our structured schedule offers the comfort of a classroom while promoting personal growth and social-emotional learning through activities like compliment circles. Campers thrive in small, thoughtfully placed groups, where they develop essential skills such as teamwork and communication. Engaging in hands-on activities—from rocket building and science experiments to arts & crafts—ignite curiosity and creativity. With a strong emphasis on STEM, physical activities, and cultural exposure through language and cooking, campers enjoy a well-rounded adventure. Our dedicated juniors-only spaces ensure safety and comfort, while Camper Choice time allows for exploration and fun, making every day an exciting journey of discovery!
