Put your problem solving skills to the test and see which solution works best. Campers will use Legos to build structures, toys, and other crazy contraptions as they bring their imaginations to life! Test your skills as we work as a team to help build a LEGO Mindstorm programmable robot.

What makes water special and why is it important? Be prepared to get messy while we demonstrate these concepts through art and crafts. Then get wet to wash it all off and explore the wonders of water!

What does a brain really look like? How does your circulatory system work? Each day we will dissect two creatures or organ systems and explore the BodyWorks and ChromoZone Galleries of the Discovery Center to learn more about what’s on the inside.

Learn to live off the land like a pioneer, build a rover, and complete navigational and biological challenges used by astronauts such as air, food, and water quality testing. Test your new skills by assembling a modern space port with your ground systems team.

Kids will scientifically explore key Discovery Center exhibits and demonstrate their knowledge of newly learned scientific concepts using arts, crafts, and STEAM activities. Come dressed to make a mess!

Journey back in time to find what tools people used and what scientific discoveries were made in different time periods. Learn skills used in each time period for survival and use virtual reality to visit historical sites where scientists changed the world.

Ever wondered how big the universe really is or what satellites are doing up in space? Create space sculptures, explore ancient star maps, and investigate how scientists study our solar system and beyond to discover new exoplanets!

Learn how DNA controls physical traits as we extract DNA from a variety of organisms in the DCS resident scientist lab. Use the equipment found in most science research labs to complete lab tasks using incubators, centrifuges, and autoclaves. Enroll soon because this camp is limited to 10 students per week to ensure more hands-on experience […]

Don your lab coat, safety goggles, and stethoscopes while learning what it takes to care for animals or humans. Discover how the whole body works together as one big team to keep you healthy. We will do fun chemistry experiments, pretend to dissect virtual specimens on the iPads, and partner with an older student scientist […]

The Discovery Center is closed on Monday, August 27 for professional development. We will open again at 9 am on Tuesday, August 28!
