Discovery Days

DISCOVERY DAYS

Discovery Days are returning to MVM this summer! Curious kids are invited to investigate, create, play and learn together on our beautiful Vineyard Haven campus. Changing weekly themes, explored in new and exciting ways, mean each day offers something different to stimulate growing minds. Museum educators will lead children on learning journeys that combine summer fun and critical thinking, enhanced by each child’s curiosity and interests. 

Each day begins with a big question, then provides children with opportunities to investigate and theorize as we search for answers together. Children will make lasting connections with peers and foster unique learning experiences that they’ll carry with them beyond the summer.
