Camp Discovery Summer Camp
Welcome to Camp Discovery!The summer program at New Horizon Academy, Camp Discovery, is your child's passport to a summer of fun, friends, and field trips. We have created the most fun-filled, action-packed summer program based on our 40+ years of experience with young children and school-age children who are on summer vacation. A new theme each month challenges kids through experiments, special projects, games, crafts, and stories from around the world. Our summer activities will develop your child's intellect, social skills, creative thought, and most importantly, self-esteem.
Infants – 5 Years
During the summer months, all of our programs continue to offer our award-winning curriculum. The program is enhanced with special activities and visitors. You never know who might make a guest appearance at our center this summer! It might be an athlete, a zookeeper, a juggler, a magician, or even a local hero. With these and other hands-on activities, children will enjoy the summer while building on what they learned throughout the year.
6 - 12 Years
With several fieldtrips each week and planned activities all throughout the day, your children will stay engaged and active during the long days of summer.
Summer at New Horizon Academy provides your child a safe environment to learn, play, and explore during those otherwise long summer days. Camp Discovery programs are led by teachers trained in safety, early education, compassion, and fun. Children are able to construct their own knowledge through themed fun learning experiences that include fieldtrips, community projects, sports and recreation, cooking and baking, arts and crafts, drama, gardening, guest speakers, science experiments, water play, and much, much, more. With these and other hands-on activities, children will enjoy the summer while building on what they learned throughout the year.
Join us for these amazing summer adventures!

Rewards Program
Throughout the summer, projects and many activities in the classroom are centered around satisfying requirements for children to earn Camp Discovery Rewards. As children learn about sports, crafts, science, math, music, drama, etc., they may earn a pin. Children have the opportunity to earn six different pins throughout the summer, which are centered around our summer themes. Children will receive a Camp Discovery backpack to display their pins.
Camp Discovery Summer Book Club
Children will read all summer long and earn Book Bucks for every 100 minutes they read. All children who earn Book Bucks will be able to purchase reading prizes with the “money” they earned as a reward for being a star reader. Children will also write and illustrate books about our summer adventures, visit the library, and participate in other activities that support the development of reading skills all while having fun! At the end of the summer, we will have a Reading Celebration. Top readers will be awarded fabulous prizes!
