Discovery & Jr. Discovery
One Program / Grouped by Grade Levels
Junior Discovery and Discovery programs explore specific themes through a kaleidoscope of age-appropriate activities. A combination of games, songs, stories, skits, field trips, and the traditional camp magic offer children an opportunity for a summer of safe, fun-filled learning and discovery.
In art, the children will focus on creating theme-based art projects. Sports activities focus on cooperative play and fitness. The science and nature teacher conducts many hands-on experiments and creates puzzles for the children to solve. Discovery campers work with a drama teacher to develop self-awareness and self-confidence, while Junior Discovery campers experience the joys of singing and dancing with their movement and music teacher.
Students may enroll in one or more sessions. Each session culminates in a performance, presentations by faculty, and a slide show. Lunch can be provided by parents or purchased weekly.

Our overnight adventure is for campers enrolled in one or more sessions of Discovery. Camp out at OES with counselors for an unforgettable experience. Starting with dinner, we will then head outdoors to play Capture the Flag, Laser Star Wars, and other fun games. A campfire with s’mores is the final event before crawling into our tents for a great night's sleep in the outdoors. After breakfast and a trip to Aardvark Park, it will be time for campers to head home.
