"Every day brings a new “wow” moment as campers explore the natural world through playful, hands-on science! Discovery Camp invites young learners to notice, wonder, and test ideas as they investigate how animals and nature work. Throughout the week, campers explore movement and flight by trying simple experiments with wings, air, and motion, then compare their models to real animals. They’ll investigate how different animals move in different ways through active games and observation stations. Campers also experiment with bubbles—testing different tools and techniques to see what makes bubbles big, strong, or super stretchy. Each activity builds early science habits like making predictions, observing changes, and sharing what they noticed with the group. By the end of camp, learners will strengthen curiosity, vocabulary, and early investigation skills while practicing how to look closely and describe the world around them. Campers will also meet YSI’s live animal ambassadors to connect their discoveries to real animals."
