Get your grub on!
Please pack a picnic lunch with an icepack.
Your child will have an hour to eat, but most children will only need 30 minutes;
therefore there will be extra time for self-exploration. Bring a book, movie, go for
a short hike with a buddy, whiffle ball, kick ball, free time.
1:00 – 3:00 Nature Exploration
Campers will learn how to identify many of the trees and plants in our area by growth,
habit, form, bark, and leaf shapes.
Activity: Campers will use a nature journal to document what they see, hear and smell. They will also get to create leaf rubbings and use SunPrint paper with natural materials they collect during the hike.
