Discovery Camps
Supported by The Save Mart C.A.R.E.S. Foundation
Turtle Bay’s Discovery Camps are an opportunity for 7 – 12-year-olds to participate in various science activities, crafts, games, and more! At Turtle Bay, we encourage interactive and hands-on learning that builds on prior knowledge. We encourage campers to try new and different activities and experiments. Sequential days will build off the previous day’s work as we explore science, arts, and the surrounding natural world. Throughout the week, campers will also have opportunities to attend Turtle Bay programs, visit the Parrot Playhouse, enjoy the playgrounds, and explore our exhibitions, gardens, and more.
