At Camp DaVinci, we provide a rich experience that is creative, informative, and
educational without being boring; a program that is looked forward to and not a battle.
Like Leonardo da Vinci, our programs balance Science, Technology and the Arts. We
look forward to providing your child with a curriculum that develops and strengthens
current interests, as well as plants the seeds for future academic and extracurricular
pursuits. With hands-on involvement in a nurturing environment, we provide a wide
range of encounters where children “do”.
First-time campers and seasoned pros alike will benefit from the inclusion and
self-discovery encouraged by our trained staff – so your child’s experiences will carry on
well past summer’s end.
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
- Leonardo da Vinci
