In the bustling, bountiful land of New Jersey, nestled between the enchanted realms of New York and Pennsylvania, a troop of cheeky, ever-curious kids embark on an exciting exploration activity each day. This isn't your ordinary state, not by a long shot! It's a place where the fragrant pine forests in the south whisper secrets with the gleaming skyscrapers in the north, and where the beach-loving seagulls on the coast exchange yarns with the swift-footed deer in the western hills. Now, let's meet our little troop of explorers. Leading the pack is a feisty, freckled-face firecracker named Tommy Turnpike. Tommy, named after the state's famous highway, has an amusing knack of losing his way but always, magically, winding up in the most stirring adventures. He's as bold as a Jersey tomato, as richly imaginative as a boardwalk funnel cake, and as loyal as a Jersey diner offering its endless mugs of coffee. Trailing behind Tommy, are dozens of sprightly kids, each as unique as the state's many pizza toppings. Millie, the Meadowlands maverick, is as sly as a fox and can spot a rare bird from miles away. Then there’s Benny the beachcomber, who knows every grain of sand on the shorelines and can speak fluent crab! Every day, in this small but mighty state, these kids roam from the Cape May lighthouse to the Great Falls of Paterson, tickling their curiosities and feeding their imaginations. From inventing a time-travelling tomato to befriending a talking squirrel, their adventures are as varied and vibrant as a display of fireworks on a warm Jersey Shore night. Believe me; there’s never a dull moment in the Garden State!

Summer Discovery is the perfect destination for curious kids! At Summer Discovery, we encourage exploration by facilitating hands-on experiments in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). Our weekly activities are designed to help campers build their curiosity and ignite their sense of wonder. This summer, we are introducing a new “lived-learning experience” to help campers gain a deeper understanding of the themes they explore. Through role-playing, campers can experience what it’s like to be a scientist, engineer, inventor, or researcher. They’ll be able to step into the shoes of these famous figures and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them. At Summer Discovery, we believe that the best way for our campers to gain knowledge and understanding is through exploration. Our innovative approach to learning through hands-on experiences, coupled with our new lived-learning experience, makes this summer camp the perfect destination for curious kids!
