This week is dedicated to exploring the magic of the forest, using our imaginations to tell stories and connect with nature. We will be making: herbal sun tea, fairy/ gnome houses and wands. Children will learn mapping and compass skills, through an enchanted scavenger hunt.

Week Five: Water Week (7/13-7/17)

Dive into Water Week! Campers will splash, explore, and discover the magic of water through hands-on creek play and nature discovery. Using sifters and simple tools, children will search for tiny creek critters, rocks, and learn where water comes from.

What birds live around us? What do they eat? Where do they live? We will spend this week exploring the birds that we share a home with. We will build our own birds’ nests, make bird feeders, bird watch and read stories.
