Summer Camp

What do campers do at Museum Discovery Camp?

Museum Discovery Camp offers an art and science program for children from ages 4-11 years.

Exciting programs, unmatched environment, qualified instructors, individual attention and convenience, are the unparalleled ingredients that make the Reading Public Museum Discovery Camp exceptional! Hours that make sense and top notch facilities, Museum Camp 2011 promises to be better than ever!

Programs include outdoor sketching, nature study and exploration, hands-on live animal demonstrations, environmental awareness, supervised outdoor games and activities, Museum Gallery talks, guest speakers, Planetarium shows, and rainy day activities. Don’t miss the Friday Art Show – parents are invited!

Located on the grounds of a beautiful 25-acre Arboretum, the Museum facilities provide the highest quality setting for a delightful and educational summer camp!

The camp day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. (except 4 & 5 yrs.) Campers need only bring a lunch & snack each day. Class sizes are limited to assure individual instruction and appropriate supervision. Children are joined in similar age groups providing campers with a compatible yet challenging setting.

This year's Museum Discovery Camp was a huge success! The children experienced an art and science program that was educational, informative, and lots of fun. Details on the 2012 season will be available soon.
