Discovery & Pure Fun
Deer Mountain is about providing campers with enriching experiences they can’t find anywhere else. Our Discovery & Pure Fun Program does just that.
Some activities stimulate the brain: rocketry, robotics, science, and chess. Others are driven by play—and embrace the summer outdoors, like super scooters, playground time, parachute play, and Lego-land. Each gives your campers an opportunity to embrace budding interests, challenge their minds, work as teams, and value some much-needed free time. Check out what we have to offer!
The world is filled with engrossing mysteries. Occasionally, Deer Mountain unlocks the answers. We offer hands-on science experiments that are as fun as they are educational.
As usual, these are taught by experts that turn our science programs into an instrument for collaboration, interaction, and achievement. We’ve made volcanoes, used forensics to solve crimes, and seen the bubbling magic of chemistry through mixing solutions. We build things to learn how they work: boats that float in our lake, bridges that suspend. And we take apart, such as learning about the properties of different foods. Our campers’ favorite is Mad Science, where we perform kooky experiments kids will probably never get to try in a classroom!" rel="lightbox[]">

Chess is more than just a game. It’s a key tool for crafting and executing strategy—and exercising children’s ability to think analytically in the future.
Campers learn how to play this age-old game through personal instruction, puzzles, and interactive play. Through the rules of the game, they develop essential skills such as forethought and sportsmanship. Watch out, Bobby Fischer!" rel="lightbox[3]">

Unstructured (but highly supervised) playtime is key to the camp experience—especially for our younger campers with vivid imaginations. Our age-appropriate playgrounds are the perfect place for it.
Our nursery playground is exclusively designed for and dedicated to our preschool-aged campers. With a large, state-of-the-art play-set as its focal point, the nursery playground is surrounded by a giant “bouncy house” truck, a semicircular climbing wall, a sailboat sandbox, and spring animals. Our Freshman campers and up enjoy a larger playground, which better reflects their ability and appropriate level of challenge. Nursery campers have playground time scheduled into their day; older campers can stop by the playground between activities." rel="lightbox[6]">

![Science The world is filled with engrossing mysteries. Occasionally, Deer Mountain unlocks the answers. We offer hands-on science experiments that are as fun as they are educational. As usual, these are taught by experts that turn our science programs into an instrument for collaboration, interaction, and achievement. We’ve made volcanoes, used forensics to solve crimes, and seen the bubbling magic of chemistry through mixing solutions. We build things to learn how they work: boats that float in our lake, bridges that suspend. And we take apart, such as learning about the properties of different foods.

![Bonzo Ball A perennial favorite of older campers at Deer Mountain, Bonzo Ball is a rare and coveted game we play on our handball walls. One by one, campers “punch” a playground ball towards the wall, hitting the ground once. The next player needs to return the ball back to the wall before it bounces twice…and so on. The game’s addictive quality is a draw that keeps our campers wanting more!" rel="lightbox[8]">](https://www.deermountaindaycamp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/bonzo.jpg){kind=link}
![Gaga All the rage with kids today (just ask yours), the goal is to steer clear of the bouncing playground ball after someone “punches” it to the ground. If it touches your legs, you’ll have to step out until the next game begins. The energy rises as each round draws to a close with campers bobbing and shifting to move away from the bouncing ball lest it touches them. At DMDC, we have several GaGa courts—hexagonal spaces—for both outdoor and indoor use." rel="lightbox[9]">](https://www.deermountaindaycamp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/gaga-2-2.jpg){kind=link}
