    Children participate in a variety of fun and engaging enrichment activities that provide them with hands-on opportunities to learn and practice academic, social and physical skills.
     
    Who supervises the children? 
    Discovery Club staff are the heart of our program. Staff are educated, experienced adults who have a passion for engaging students in fun and educational activities.

    Where is Discovery Club located?
    Discovery Club is available to students enrolled in Saint Paul Public elementary schools in all SPPS district assigned areas.
