Discovery Day Camp Inc

Coed Day Camp

Discovery is a small nurturing camp where each child receives individualized attention. One of our goals is to create an environment in which campers have fun while growing as individuals and as members of a group through participation in a variety of activities. Campers are placed in small age appropriate groups where they receive individualized attention while participating in: swimming (twice daily), arts & crafts, biking, climbing wall, cooking, dance, drama, gymnastics, tennis, a variety of team sports, lead up games, ropes course events, music and nature. Campers enjoy special events one or more times each week. Older campers have weekly field trips and frequent bike hikes.

The young people are challenged to try new skills that are taught in a non-competitive atmosphere as children form memorable relationships with their group and group leaders.
