Spark your son's curiosity and interest for the fascinating world of science! Discovery Science Camp is a science teacher-led activity and 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 and hands-on experiences involving science. For the past 25 years, this longest running camp at the school has been staffed exclusively by The Heights School's faculty - and it accomplishes more adventure in a few weeks than most camps offer in an entire summer. This summer, Discovery Science Camp will accomplish field trips in small groups of ten campers plus a faculty leader and staff member. Here is a sample of activities and trips that have been taken in past years: A visit to the NASA Goddard Space Center with a special presentation on the space shuttle, satellites, and the James Webb Telescope. The traditional helicopter egg drop engineering contest and a chance to make ice cream as a prize. An in-depth study of ecosystems and The Chesapeake Bay, including a visit to The Chesapeake Bay.
