Summer Discovery
Let’s CREATE this summer!
From making music & feeling the rhythm, to creating treasures out of trash, to constructing special memorabilia out of bits & bops, to building kites & windmills for the wind to take, to exploring unique materials you can paint with, to bringing characters to life in the world of puppets…it’s all happening here at SSDS this summer!
(Lottery Application Opens Wednesday, January 10th!)

Volunteer with SSDS at our Summer Discovery Program:
Our volunteer application is now closed. We look forward to welcoming more volunteers the summer of 2025.
We have designed each weekly session with a focus on unique ways to use our creativity!
Let's make music & feel the rhythm together! We will create a variety of instruments that will help us make music, feel the rhythm and invent some fun rhyming songs.
Wait, don't throw that away! Egg cartons, boxes, bottles, and lids galore! We will use these items and more to create so many unique treasures.
A piece of an old blanket or a favorite tee shirt. Bring these and more and we will create memories that will last a lifetime!
When the wind blows so much can happen. The sound of chimes, kites going up, up in the sky, and so much more. Watch to see what your child will create for the wind to take.
Rubberbands? Oil? Tin Foil? Funnels? Can we use these things to paint? Your child will explore the world of painting with different materials to see what fun masterpieces we can create.
There are so many kinds of puppets -- finger puppets, hand puppets, sock puppets, and more! Your child will have fun bringing characters to life and then using them to create their own stories.
Summer Discovery is only open to students who are enrolled in the 23-24 school year + their siblings who are registered for the 24-25 school year: ages 2-5, must turn 2 by May 1st, 2024. Unlike our school year program, our Summer Discovery program does not require parent participation.
