ABOUT DISCOVERY DAYS
Discovery Days turn a day off from school into a day filled with curiosity, creativity, and meaningful discovery.
Built from the same immersive, hands-on approach as our signature Learning Labs, each Discovery Day invites learners to step inside a theme rather than simply learn about it. Academic concepts are woven naturally into imaginative challenges, collaborative problem-solving, experiments, creative projects, and real-world connections.
Our intentionally small groups allow learners to be active participants in the experience, not simply part of the crowd. With opportunities to contribute, collaborate, ask questions, and take on meaningful roles, learners have space to explore in ways that work for them while still benefiting from the energy of learning alongside others.
Our experiences are designed to meet learners where they are, with opportunities to explore, contribute, think differently, and discover what they’re capable of — all while having so much fun they may not realize just how much learning is happening.
Because the best learning doesn’t always look like learning. Sometimes, it looks like magic.
The Academy is opening its doors once again, this time with a distinctly Halloween twist.
Learners will step into a full day of wizard-inspired studies where science, STEM, problem-solving, creativity, and a little mystery come together through immersive challenges and hands-on discovery. Expect experiments, investigations, curious phenomena, and magical surprises designed specifically for our older cohort.
Returning academy students will find a new seasonal adventure waiting for them, while first-time witches and wizards can jump right into the magic. No previous Wizard Academy experience is required, just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to explore the unexpected.

Something has gone terribly wrong in Whimsyville... and we need a team of clever investigators to crack the case!
In this festive evening mystery, learners will step into the role of detectives as they uncover clues, examine evidence, solve puzzles, and work together to unravel a holiday whodunit. Along the way, we’ll gather for dinner and festive treats, making this part mystery, part holiday celebration, and entirely Wit & Whimsy.
Designed especially for our older learners, Wholiday Whodunit blends logic, literacy, critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving into an immersive holiday adventure where every clue matters and things may not be quite as they seem.
Can your team solve the mystery before the final clue falls into place?

Welcome to Whimsyville, where holiday cheer is measured in more than presents!
Learners will spend the afternoon immersed in a whimsical holiday adventure filled with hands-on STEM challenges, creative take-home projects, meaningful community service, and plenty of festive fun. Through teamwork, problem-solving, and giving back, our Whimsyville Whos will discover that some of the best parts of the season are the things we create, share, and do for others.
We’ll gather for a festive Whimsyville Feast with treats, then cozy up with popcorn for a holiday movie to end our afternoon together.
Please note that our feast is part of the holiday experience and does not replace lunch. Learners should eat lunch before arriving. Festive treats and popcorn will be provided during the program.
Learners will head home with their creations, a lot of holiday cheer, and hopefully the reminder that even the smallest Who can make a meaningful difference.

FINDING THE RIGHT FIT
A Note About Ages
Our suggested age ranges are designed to help families find experiences that are likely to be a good fit — but we know age doesn't always tell the whole story.
Kids grow, learn, socialize, and engage in different ways. Interests, independence, comfort with older or younger peers, and readiness for a particular experience can matter just as much as age.
Some of our experiences span a wider age range and are intentionally designed to meet learners at different levels. When appropriate, learners may work in smaller groups based on age and readiness, allowing for different levels of challenge while still being part of the shared experience.
Not sure where your learner fits? If your child falls just outside a listed age range — or you're simply wondering whether an experience is right for them — please reach out. We're always happy to talk through the program with you and help determine whether it feels like a good fit.
