Session Themes

We have designed each Summer Discovery 2025 weekly session with a focus on all types of adventures with friends. Come explore with us!

Session 1: Let's Go to Space Week of June 16th

3..2..1..Blast Off! What planet will we visit? How will we get there? Come with us on this adventure to explore the vast universe.
**no camp Thursday, June 19, 2025**

Session 2: Swinging Through the Jungle Week of June 23rd

As we explore the jungle, will you see a monkey, swinging through the trees? A lemur, hanging by its tail? Or maybe a leopard, stalking its prey? Join us for a jungle safari!

Session 3: Going on a Bear Hunt Week of June 30th

We will push through tall swishy grass, squelch through the squishy mud, and hike across the forest floor. What do you think we will see when we come out of the forest? Will there be a bear in its lair? Or maybe it’s sitting in a chair? It’s our adventure to create.
**no camp Friday, July 4, 2025**

Session 4: Tiptoeing through the Fairy GardenWeek of July 7th

Shhhh, let’s tiptoe through the fairy garden in hopes we see a fairy. Do you think if we make the fairies a house, they’ll come out for us to see? What about making a swing for them in a tree? Join us for a magical adventure.

Session 5: Ocean DivingWeek of July 14th

As we dive into the ocean blue, what do you think will be there? Maybe we can take a ride on a Baby Beluga or get tangled in the arms of an octopus hug? There are so many adventures we can make in the deep blue sea.

Session 6: If We Were Insects...Week of July 21st

Let’s explore the world of insects as we buzz around some flowers, wiggle through the grass, and glide across a pond with iridescent wings.
