Discovery World Summer Camp — Programs for children 8 years to 16 years old
Space is Limited — Make Reservations by June 2
Looking for fun and educational activities your children can enjoy while you attend the ESA Annual Meeting? Enroll them in the Discovery World Summer Camp, a great place for adventure and learning right on Lake Michigan. Discovery World offers a wide array of unique programs for children 8 to 16 years of age that nourish their special talents and interests and encourage them to be excited about learning.
Program options are listed below. Enrollment is available on only a weekly basis. (Sorry, no daily enrollment is available.) Your child may enroll even if he or she cannot attend all 5 days, but the $240 per week fee for each camp cannot be reduced. Each child will also need to bring money to purchase lunch in the museum café as camp fees do not include lunches. You must register by calling Stacy Mills at 1-414-765-8622. Because space is limited, be sure to register early to reserve your child’s place.
