Friends' Discovery Camp Middle School

Registration is now open!

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's our inventions soaring across the sky! Explore the concepts of energy, propulsion, trajectory, and aerodynamics with our friends while building and testing our driving and flying machines. With the help of our Big Buddies from UTC, campers with intellectual and developmental disabilities and typically developing peers will explore the Museum and beyond in this week of exploration, creativity, and making new friends!

This camp is for middle school age campers and above (12 years old and up). Capacity is 20 campers.
