Discovery Day
On the third Saturday of
every month children ages 6 to 12 (at time of event) can enjoy fun and learning in a wholesome
atmosphere through the 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.

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.
