Note: For Camp Discovery’s summer 2020 session, morning and afternoon kindergarten camps have been combined into full-day camps. For details, please see our Camp Discovery COVID-19 Response.
Rock & Roll
What did the boy volcano say to the girl volcano?—I lava you! In this hands-on camp, budding geologists will explore the mysteries of the Earth through rocks! Make your own fossil, and check out real ones. Feel the difference between different types of rocks. Create your own pet rock, and make a model of an active volcano. Along with these fun activities and experiments, we will play games, do some rock-inspired art, and have plenty of time to explore the museum, too.
Very Hungry Camper
Crawl into the wonderful, colorful, engaging world of books by author and illustrator Eric Carle. Campers will explore art, science, and teamwork as they recreate the stories they’ve read through innovative projects and experiments.
