  Discovery Day
 
On the third Saturday of every month children ages 6 and older can enjoy fun and learning in a wholesome atmosphere through the NEW and exciting Discovery Day program. Discovery Day is four hours of fun and learning through hands-on interactive activities led by trained educators who love working with kids. Each month children will:
  • Meet a Scientist and get the inside scoop on the theme for the month. The first hour of each Discovery Day allows participants a chance to interact with a professional scientist.
  • Create and construct projects they can take home.
  • Conduct experiments that explore and investigate the world around them.
Discovery Day
Each month Discovery Day participants explore a different theme. Past themes include Bats, Early Settlers, Native American Heritage, Wildlife in the Winter, The Magic of Science, and Wonderful Weather. Upcoming themes include Remarkable Reptiles, Wildfires, Rock and Geology, and Egypt.
