Deal Details

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 more than 25 years, t
his 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.
  • Dissection of a shark and a chance to study Marine Biology.
  • Construction of giant water balloon catapults and cannons 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 the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve.
  • A visit to the U.S. Naval Observatory Dome Telescope with a presentation on outer space.
  • Woodworking and 2×4 bridge building for older campers to better understand engineering principles and design.
  • Learning about Natural History through hikes and expert guest speakers invited with animals such as falconry from a Falconer and reptiles from a Zoologist.
  • Visits to nearby Caverns of the Catoctin Mountains to learn more about cavern formation and Geology.
  • Learn about Rocketry, how planes fly, and applied engineering demonstrations using model rockets and an opportunity for each camper to make and launch a model rocket.
  • A visit to a large crop and dairy farm to better understand agricultural sciences and the work of farmers.
  • Understanding Aeronautics, including a trip to the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum and a tour from an F-16 pilot to learn about how planes fly.
  • The chance to go creeking and explore the tiny, living world of microorganisms in naturally sourced water through the use of biology lab microscopes.
