## About

Discovery Center's Thanksgiving-break day camp for kindergarten through 5th grade turns each day into a marine-science mission. Campers test water samples, decode nature's hidden records, meet the center's turtles and explore aquatic ecosystems while investigating how ocean animals, Earth's geology and water chemistry work together, finishing challenges worthy of a true ocean explorer. Camp runs Monday through Wednesday, November 23 to 25, from 9 am to 4 pm, with extended care from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Families can book the full three-day week or individual days. Full week costs $185 for members or $200 for non-members ($65/$70 per day); extended care adds $210/$225 for the week or $75/$80 per day.
