Discovery World is back with another exciting summer of interactive fun!

Discovery World is in the business of tomorrow – providing a glimpse of what’s around the corner – so students have the opportunity to create a future they want to be a part of; a future where they feel empowered and impassioned.

This summer is packed with the return of some of our most popular camps, plus a handful of new offerings designed to introduce you to a whole new world of possibility. Our focus has always been on bringing science, technology, engineering, and entrepreneurship into the hands of youth in a way that simply isn’t done anywhere else.

Whether your child is 7 or 14, we offer a wide array of unique camps. Our camps appeal to builders, creators, and explorers curious about the world around them as well as those interested in technology and the environment.

Our most popular camps are offered two times this summer giving you flexible scheduling options. Small class sizes promote one-on-one interactions, hands-on activities, and optimal engagement. Our exceptional camp staff is augmented by guest experts and professionals in the field, enhancing our camps with their real world experiences. Nourish your child’s special talents and interests! Enroll your child in a camp at Discovery World!
