Discovery Den at 36th street
142 W 36th Street (on the 3rd floor), $185 per week + an extra 20% off for four-week bundle
In partnership with Hunter College, EKC is proud to introduce Discovery Den at 36th Street, a space for neurodivergent youth and families to connect, create, and build relationships in a community setting rooted in belonging.
We will kick off the collaboration with four weeks of summer programs that focus on hands-on learning, creativity, and fun!
From robotics and gaming to global arts, dance, and theater, there's something for every explorer. Each week introduces a new theme that encourages participants to explore their interests, and build confidence and friendships, while celebrating their unique interests and talents.
Our wheelchair-accessible space includes a sensory corner with calming activities and sensory tools offering participants a safe, supportive place to relax and reset as needed.
Browse our offerings below. Purchase by week or bundle to save an extra 20%.
