Discovery Camp

Discovery Camp Discovery Camp is your answer to the daily "I'm bored!" you may hear! Fun for kids aged 5-12! (Must have attended Kindergarten)

Discovery Camp is a non-profit summer day program operated by the Family & Community Support Services office in the Town of Hinton. Discovery Camp has been a part of the Hinton community for 23 years. Every day, we serve 40-50 children ranging in age from 5 to 12 years. Our goal is to provide them with new opportunities and activities that are educational and fun. In addition to this goal, the pro

gram intends to develop self-confidence, provide valuable hands-on learning, opportunities to tackle challenges and experiences that cultivate creativity and imagination.

2022 is geared up to be our best summer yet as we welcome back new and old Discovery Campers with a new program and new challenges!
