Camps offer a unique blend of education and fun, utilizing the entire museum as a living laboratory with hands-on adventures led by expert educators.
Discovery Place Science offers engaging full-day STEM summer camps for children ages 5-12 (rising Kindergarten through 6th grade). Campers participate in hands-on activities, experiments, and projects designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. The curriculum moves beyond traditional classroom settings, utilizing the museum's aquarium, rainforest, and interactive exhibits as extended learning environments. Specific camps focus on areas like coding, robotics, chemistry, engineering, and natural sciences, allowing children to explore diverse scientific fields and develop foundational STEM skills. The programs aim to keep academic skills sharp during the summer while providing a fun and supportive atmosphere for discovery and social interaction.
A typical day includes a morning deep dive into the weekly theme, followed by lunch and social recess, museum exploration in the afternoon, and concluding with engineering challenges and wrap-up activities.
The ideal student is a curious child aged 5-12 who enjoys hands-on learning, active experimentation, and exploring various STEM topics in a fun and interactive museum setting.
