COVID-19 Response
The heath and safety of our students, families and staff is our most important priority. Our camp safety plans are based on the latest guidance from scientists, health departments, doctors and nurses, research. We also formed a health and safety committee consisting of Discovery parents, teachers, administrators and health professionals. We will continue to evaluate our procedures and update them as needed. Below you will find our current procedures
