Discovery Days is a healthy outdoor educational opportunity for children ages 7-12 to get outside and explore the Juneau area. Similar to our Outdoor Explorers summer day camp, these events are offered throughout the school year when students are out of school during Teacher In-service Days, Parent Teacher Conference Days, holidays, and seasonal school breaks.
Register for our next Discovery Day! Discovery Southeast is offering a Discovery Day for children ages 7-12 on Thursday, February 14, Friday, February 15, and Tuesday, February 19. Join DSE naturalists and friends for some nature inspired fun!
