We’re baaaaaack! 👋

It’s been a busy stretch behind the scenes at GoldCap, and we’re excited to start sharing what’s coming up this spring.

With two no-school days coming up in April, we’re bringing back our popular Downtown Discovery camps — and if last time was any indication, spots won’t last long.

These camps turn a day off school into a downtown adventure — kids exploring Iowa City, visiting local spots, tackling creative challenges, and spending the day learning alongside friends and real teachers who love what they do.

It’s one of our favorite ways to bring kids together and connect them with the community around them.

April 3rd and 24th No-School Camps are now open for registration. Limited spots - These sold out quick last year!
