Spend your summer on an adventure with the experienced staff at the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. Building, thinking, experimenting and creating are the basis for activity-packed classes designed to nurture creativity, teamwork and kids’ interest in science. Fun is important too, so time is built in for active play and making friends!

Discovery camp classes will be offered for children Pre-K through 8th grade.

Additional camp opportunities will be offered June 15–19, June 22–26, and July 27–31.
