We offer extended, supervised care on a pre-registration basis.

Our camp day begins at 9:30 AM and ends at 4:15 PM Monday-Thursday, and 3:30 PM on Friday.

Should you need to drop your child off before 9:10 AM (Tuesday-Friday) or pick them up after 4:45 PM (Monday-Thursday), or 4:00 PM (Friday), you will need to register them for extended care.

Pre-registration is required. All extended care must be reserved 24 hours in advance of the camp day. Late registrations will not be accepted. There will be a $20 fee per day for any child who participates in extended care but is not pre-registered, in addition to the $10 AM Care or $5 PM Care fee.

2021 Summer Camp Policies

2021 COVID-19 Operating Plan

2021 Minor Participant Waiver

Effective Tuesday, June 1^st, the Milwaukee Health Department ended the Moving Milwaukee Forward Health Order. This decision allows for fully vaccinated people to resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing. Per the CDC, anyone not fully vaccinated, including those under the age of 12, is recommended to continue to wear a mask in public indoor settings.

Given that the majority of Discovery World camp participants are under the age of 12, Discovery World is doing the following for its camp program:

• Requiring that campers wear masks indoors and while in classrooms
• Requiring camp staff to continue to wear a mask, as an example for our campers
• Continue requiring health checks, as laid out in our parent information, for all unvaccinated individuals
• Continue our enhanced cleaning procedures in our classroom spaces
• Continue CDC-recommended social distancing in our camp spaces
• Continue modifying policies based on CDC recommendations, specifically the Guidance for Operating Youth Camps

Discovery World recognizes the need to provide quality experiences for all learners, regardless of financial circumstances, and offers a variety of scholarship opportunities. Thanks to contributions from our generous donors, we are able to provide a wide range of scholarship assistance to many local families, organizations, and schools.

Applications will be accepted beginning February 15, 2021. Scholarships may be available for families who meet, or exceed up to 35%, the State of Wisconsin WIC Eligibility Guidelines.
