Camp Discovery

What
Camp Discovery scientists will spend the week dabbling in several branches of science.  As biologists we will be exploring the world around us by observing and classifying the living creatures and plants that inhabit Canyon Ferry.  As chemists we will discover chemical changes as we magically make pennies new again.  Physics will be the focus as we design structures that will protect an egg in a fall, build the tallest towers and the strongest bridges.  Join us for week of hands-on science fun.

Who
Students entering grades K-3

When
July 23 - 26 (day camp only); July 30 - August 2, 2012 (day camp only)

Camp Discovery students are shuttled to and from Helena each day.
