Pioneer Days: Gettin’ Dirty (Entering VPK-7th) (OFF SITE LOCATION) (CLOSED)
Campers will be immersed in the daily cycle of the farm as they discover the wonder of the natural world. From collecting eggs to learning about the animal family that make up a farm community to studying pond life, baking bread, making butter and ice cream and creating their own gardens. Campers will take a trip into our natural world to learn the science behind bees, bugs, ponds, animals and so much more. Students will learn the amazing contributions of various natural wonders as they study the science related to each one. Learning will extend beyond the classroom with a plethora of hands-on experiments that give campers a glimpse into the wonders that surround us. Campers will get dirty as they work in the mud kitchen and search for natural items that will be used to make art projects.
