Summer Discovery Camps - The Place Where Learning is FUN

February 28, 2024

Summer Discovery at Newlin Grist Mill offers history- and nature-based experiences in an engaging, inclusive, outdoor environment for children ages 4-12. Campers share unique experiences that connect and expand their interactions with each other and their community. Summer Discovery is the place where learning is fun!

At Summer Discovery, we strive to provide fun, engaging activities that encourage campers to follow their passions and connect with the world around them. Traditional camp fun like hiking, games, and scavenger hunts are intertwined with unique educational opportunities that highlight the nature and history our site has to offer. On any given day, campers might be looking for frogs, building a sculpture of recycled materials, baking cookies from an 18th century recipe, or experimenting with magic bubbles. Campers ages 10-12 are known as our "Summer Explorers," and they get a chance to do special experiments, immersive activities, and explore even more of the park as our oldest group of campers! There is no end to the fun adventures that can be had!

Camp runs from 8:30am to 12:30pm on the dates below and includes a peanut-free snack.
