Summer begins here, Monday, June 8! Forsyth Summer Discovery provides a balance of structure and age-appropriate freedom, offering children age 3 through Grade 7 a largely “unplugged” experience with a neighborhood feel. One-week sessions with different themes allow campers to become artists, engineers, filmmakers, cyclists, performers, scientists, photographers, explorers, and more! Summer Discovery is a place to play, try, make, be, and do—on the high ropes or obstacle course, in the science lab, on the stage, in the garden, or on the field. Extended Day (Before & After Care) is available; additional fees apply.
Forsyth Summer Discovery’s 2026 camp program runs from Monday, June 8, through Friday, July 31. There is NO CAMP on Friday, June 19, or Friday, July 3. The Camp Day runs from 9 a.m – 3 p.m. ($310 per week) with Before Care from 8 – 9 a.m. ($50 per week) and After Care from 3 – 6 p.m. ($95 per week). Online registration opens to the public on Friday, January 30.




Take your family to watch birds of prey fly right over your head, meet the wonderful bird ambassadors of the World Bird Sanctuary up close and much more.
The St. Louis African Arts Festival, held in Forest Park, celebrates the rich and diverse cultures of Africa and African people. Children's activities include storytelling, arts and crafts, mask-making and educational workshops. In conjunction with the festival, the Saint Louis Zoo will have special activities focused on a different African animal each day.
There are more than strawberries (but plenty of those too) at this festival! Kids can enjoy carnival rides, a petting farm, pony rides, the children's play area and lots more.
Families are invited to the Saint Louis Art Museum on Sunday afternoon to participate in free hands-on art activities with fun themes and to explore the galleries. Each Family Sunday focuses on a different family-friendly theme.
