There's So Much to Discover Over the Summer!
If you're looking for an experience that will give your camper the chance to discover new things and have fun, all while keeping curious brains engaged, then your camper belongs at the Danville Science Center!
This summer, we’re offering four weeks of camp. Two weeks are designed for campers ages 4–7 and two weeks are for campers ages 8–12. Camps will be offered Tuesday–Friday each week and camp will either take place in the morning (9:30 a.m.–12 p.m.) or afternoon (1:30–4 p.m.). If camp sells out after registration, email [email protected] and ask to be added to the waitlist.
