What happens when you combine 105 camps, hundreds of curious campers, and a team dedicated to inspiring wonder? A summer full of unforgettable discoveries.

This year, Discovery World welcomed campers in grades 1–8 for hands-on adventures in science, technology, engineering, creativity, and exploration. From coding and chemistry to aquarist experiences and clothing design, our campers spent the summer asking big questions, solving problems, and exploring endlessly.

Thank you to our amazing educators, educator assistants, support staff, volunteers, guest speakers, and teams across Discovery World whose passion and excitement helped make a summer full of curiosity, creativity, and discovery possible.
