Give your child a summer of learning at Discovery College, a fun and exciting summer youth camp offered at Lone Star College-Montgomery and also for the first time, at Lone Star College-Conroe Center.

Discovery College, which begins Session 1 on Monday, June 11, is an affordable, educational youth camp that covers a range of interesting topics in one- or two-week class sessions. Camps are primarily for children ages 7 to 14, but special "teen track" camps are available for ages 15 to 17.  

Registration is already underway for the camp sessions, which aim to engage children in key areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to promote a true learning experience.  

“We make sure that each class is fun, but also follows the STEM model,” said Donna Smith Burns, program coordinator for Discovery College. “Campers have an opportunity to work on teams and develop their creative skills, too.”

Some examples of camp sessions are Digital Images & Photoshop; 101 Things About Science; Fitness and Food; Math Can be a Blast; Adventures in Art; Digging Archaeology; CSI Crime Scene; Weather & Natural Disasters; Girls Night Out; Computer Wizards; and more. Plus, Discovery College will continue the popular LEGO® Engineering and Robotics sessions. The Robotics class will be taught at both LSC-Montgomery and LSC-Conroe Center.

“Robotics classes for young people is the wave of the future,” said Smith Burns. “We’ve had such an interest in these programs that we have added classes this year to accommodate even more students.”

Discovery College takes place at LSC-Montgomery throughout the summer on Monday through Thursday, from 1-5 p.m. Discovery College is offered at LSC-Conroe Center for two weeks only, June 18-21 and June 25-28, with both morning (8 a.m.-12 p.m.) and afternoon (1-5 p.m.) sessions available.
