Specific 'Discovering U' camps include creative arts programs like 'Ama-zine Creations' where campers learn to create their own zines, 'Art from the Heart' focusing on self-expression through painting and drawing, and 'Make a Play' where participants write, build, and create a show in a week. There's also a jewelry making camp where students learn professional techniques like casting, soldering, and enameling. These camps aim to foster creativity, self-expression, skill development, and problem-solving skills in a fun and active environment.
A typical day includes a variety of activities such as swimming, rock climbing, art instruction, themed programming, and recreational games, with 2-3 hours dedicated to a specialized topic like arts, agriculture, language, math, or science.
