2026 Western Summer Camps

Discovery Western Summer Camp

At Discovery Western we believe that science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) is for everyone! Our main goal is that our campers have fun. While we want our campers to learn something new through hands-on learning, we also want them to have fun and explore science and engineering in a place where they can be themselves. For over 35 years Discovery Western has nurtured curiosity and a love of life-long learning through favorite camp crafts and games along with opportunities to build confidence and skills in STEM. Open to all students in Senior Kindergarten to Grade 6.
