Discovery Camps 2010
As the warmer weather continues and with only a few months left of school, children are gearing up for family vacations and sleeping in. But, the summer doesn’t have to mean being lazy. Kids should continue to exercise their bodies and minds outside of the classroom. Fortunately, Whitaker Center has the perfect remedy to help parents keep their kids active until next fall ─ summer Discovery Camps.
If your child has ever attended a Whitaker Center camp, you already know how interactive, educational, and fun they can be! Throughout the camps, children get to explore a favorite topic, investigate new interests and sharpen science skills ─ all before the summer ends. Each Discovery Camp program is professionally structured for ages 3 through 14. Here’s a peak at a few camp programs the Center is offering this year:
Storybook Science is a great program for children ages 3 and 4 years old to do together with their parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc. A child-adult pair will work together in hands-on experiments related to books, the arts and more, while applying science toward an every day experience.
Titanic - The Unfinished Journey is an awesome program for children in 5th and 6th grade. They can take advantage of the popular, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and explore the concepts of buoyancy, displacement, and a watertight bulkhead. Kids can also learn about artifact preservation techniques and listen to survivor testimonials.
