2026 Theme: Discover Your Town!

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and this summer we’re inviting campers to discover theirs.

At Leonardo’s Summer Discovery Camp, we’re bringing back our Discover Your Town theme and going even deeper, with a new focus each week. From the people who grow our food to the ones who keep our community safe, campers will explore what makes our town work and how it all connects.

Each week, campers will dive into a different part of community life, meet local heroes, and learn how their roles connect to the world around them. Inspired by the spirit of Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street, we’ll explore what it really means to be a good neighbor and an active part of a community.

This is not just learning, it is hands-on discovery.

Campers will experiment, build, create, and play as they explore topics like farming, engineering, public safety, and more. From science-based activities to creative projects and outdoor play, every day is designed to spark curiosity and build confidence.

By the end of the summer, campers will not just understand their town better, they will understand how their community works.

What to Expect 

Leonardo's Discovery Camp experience.
Leonardo's camp offers a consistent enriching experience for every camper with a balance of art, science, STEM, and play! Our campers follow a schedule for each day. We begin with our morning greeting, an overview of the day, and expectations of behavior. The campers are then divided into groups, and move through their activities in blocks of 30 to 45 minutes. Snack time and play breaks are interspersed between activities. At Leo's, we find consistency, momentum, and variety help to keep the children focused and having fun.

Play breaks during each session
There are two play breaks per session at either Adventure Quest or in the museum. At Leonardo's we understand the power of play and the importance of hand-ons on learning beyond the classrooms.

A focus on art techniques
Art lessons and activities have a goal of introducing campers to different styles, methods, and techniques involved in a variety of artforms. Painting, sculpture, drawing, as well as performance art like dance and movement. Our focus isn't about perfection or competition. We want our campers to explore their imaginations as they discover the tools and techniques behind art.

A focus on the scientific process
Campers will use their brains and their hands to solve problems and understand how and why things work. Sometimes an experiment fails, or goes in an unexpected direction. We encourage moments like this, as it allows campers to practice without the fear of a bad grade. There are no failures when it comes to science activities, only opportunities. Leo's campers will learn to be courageous in the face of failure, and use it to discover success.
