At the Maria Mitchell Association we understand that students learn best through hands-on exploration. The Summer Discovery Camp Week-long Programs are dedicated to developing knowledge and interest in the outdoor world, connecting youth to Nantucket’s local environment, and inspiring action to protect our natural world.

Campers have the opportunity to participate in activities such as beach exploration, snorkeling, seining, kayaking, discovery hikes, wetland studies, survival skill instruction, live animal programs, orienteering, nature related games, art projects, insect collecting, and more!

 2025 MMA Discovery Camp Registration Is Open!
