Summer 2025 STEM Camps Sponsorship
Discovery Space will be back for our tenth year of science-themed camps in summer 2025!
We offer camps for children ages four to fourteen. Each camp is a mix of fun, science, technology, engineering, and more!
We rely on sponsors and contributions to help fulfill the mission of providing engaging science experiences that spark creativity, curiosity, and imagination.
Camp sponsorships offer you the opportunity to support these camps while promoting your business at the same time. Sponsorship funds support camp operations, activity supplies and experiment materials, and scholarships for families facing financial barriers.
If you have questions or would like to discuss partnership opportunities, please contact Marianne Hazel at 814.234.0200 or .
Thank you for considering this opportunity!
Community Access Program (CAP)
Discovery Space’s Community Access Program gives community members, area nonprofits and social service agencies access to the science center. This program provides memberships and camp scholarships to families who could not otherwise afford them, and free admission passes to organizations who serve underrepresented groups. Donating to this fund allows Discovery Space to reach more families throughout the area.
