Children’s Discovery Museum (CDM) offers a unique and innovative summer program where youth can have fun, make new friends, meet new challenges, and make a difference in the community. Summer of Service (SOS) responds to the needs of young teens too old for the traditional day camp, but too young for full-time employment. SOS has been changing lives for twelve years, and is a recipient of the prestigious Promising Practices Award as an outstanding opportunity for youth.
The program offers a variety of opportunities addressing different interests. Participants attend one- or more two-week sessions serving on the team of their choosing. For example, Purple Team members prepare and facilitate activities for Museum visitors, and contribute to an SOS ‘zine and documentary video in the CDMedia.studio. Orange Team participants help out at local preschools – reading, playing games, and leading activities. Green Team members become Environmental Guardians by conducting water quality tests and cleaning the river, planting trees, and helping in CDM’s Kids’ Garden. The Striped Team is comprised exclusively of youth entering 10th grade. Striped Team members take on more in-depth service projects – designing and leading activities for younger SOS participants. Many entering 10th graders take advantage of the opportunities afforded by the Striped Team to get a head start on their high school community service requirements.

VisionTech Summer Technology Camps was founded by Anita Khurana in 2001, when she tried and failed to find a summer tech program that would allow her son to explore his curiosity in technology.
At VisionTech, each week our camps focus on in-depth technology exploration and open-ended investigations. After kids are taught the foundations of each course, students engage in student-led projects in order to ensure they are actively engaged in their projects throughout the entire camp. Our goal is to inspire students to explore and actively be a part of creating new projects, whether it be a video game, an iPhone app, or a robot.
Each camp is one week long, and runs from 9 AM to 4 PM, with a 1 hour lunch break. At our camps, we only hold one course per room, and with one lead instructor trained in that subject, who only teaches that one camp for the entire week. If you would like to visit our centers, please give us a call or drop us an email, and we will be happy to set up a visit where you can meet us and see the place where summer campers will be spending their time.
