The Discovery Lab: Science & Wood Shop invites campers to explore the world through hands-on investigation, experimentation, and building. This week is designed to nurture curiosity and problem-solving skills by encouraging campers to ask questions, test ideas, and learn through doing.

Each day blends foundational science exploration with introductory woodshop and maker-style activities, allowing campers to explore basic principles of physics, engineering, and design in an engaging and age-appropriate way. Through experiments and building projects, campers will learn how things work, why materials behave the way they do, and how thoughtful design can turn ideas into tangible creations.

Campers are organized into small, age-based groups to ensure activities are developmentally appropriate. Younger campers are supported with simple tools, close guidance, and confidence-building experiences, while older campers are encouraged to take on more complex challenges that promote independence, precision, and creative problem-solving.

Safety and care are central to the experience. Campers are introduced to tool use and workshop practices in a thoughtfully designed environment, emphasizing responsibility, collaboration, and respect for materials and shared space.

The week culminates in a show-and-share experience, where campers present their experiments and building projects, reflect on their discoveries, and celebrate the learning process alongside their peers.

The Discovery Lab offers a dynamic and empowering experience for young scientists and makers, where curiosity leads the way and learning is grounded in exploration, creativity, and hands-on discovery.
