Deal Details

Spark your son's curiosity and interest for the fascinating world of science! Discovery Science Camp is a science teacher-led excursion camp at The Heights School, an independent school for boys with a conveniently located and beautiful 29-acre wooded campus in Potomac, MD.

Discovery Science Camp is a program designed around uniquely engaging activities, trips, and hands-on experiences involving science. Each camp day is unique - and most days the campers take a teacher-led field trip. For the past 20 years, this camp - staffed exclusively by The Heights School's faculty and administrators - has accomplished more adventure in a few weeks than most camps accomplish in an entire summer. Here are some examples of past activities and activities planned for this summer:

  • A visit to the NASA Goddard Space Center with a special presentation on the space shuttle.
  • An in-depth study of ecosystems and The Chesapeake Bay, including a Visit to The Chesapeake Bay.
  • Dissection of a shark and a chance to study Marine Biology at the Baltimore Aquarium.   
  • A visit to the U.S. Naval Observatory Dome Telescope with a presentation on outer space.
  • A trip to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum and a tour from an F-16 pilot.
  • A visit to the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and the chance to explore the tiny, living world of microorganisms through the use of biology lab microscopes.
  • A trip to Luray Caverns and an opportunity to learn more about how caves form.
  • Behind the scenes tours of the Smithsonian Institute and a chance to watch IMAX films.
  • The traditional helicopter egg drop engineering contest, model building and a chance to make ice cream as a prize. 
  • Construction of giant water balloon catapults as a fun way to learn about Newtonian Physics.
  • Nature hikes that promote an understanding of Environmental Biology and the natural forces that shape our local environment, including visits to Cunningham Falls Park and Zoo and the Potomac River Valley.

Prior to camp, a detailed schedule will be emailed to parents with a description of the activities each day.
