DISCOVERY
Summer with Westerly is hosting morning and afternoon workshops with a focus in the Arts & Sciences. With both morning and afternoon workshops available students are immersed in hands-on learning, exploring big questions and applying real skills that build connection and deepen understanding.
The discovery camps are appropriate for children of all ability levels; small group instruction allows our dynamic staff to differentiate classes based on individual student experiences and grade levels.
Campers are welcome to participate in both morning and afternoon sessions or pick and choose what works best for your family - and aligns with your child's interests. We encourage students to participate in both workshops as this provides a healthy balance of learning in both the arts & sciences.
