CAMP DESCRIPTIONS BY WEEK
WEEK 1 – LET’S GO CAMPING: No better way to kick off the summer fun than a week of camping adventures. We will pitch tents, build campfires, and learn survival skills. We will use binoculars to observe birds and animals living in the forest. Songs and stories throughout the week will embrace the camping spirit.
WEEK 2 – EXPLORE THE RAINFOREST: We will travel with our camping gear down to the Rainforest where we will discover a variety of exotic and fascinating animals. We will study habitats and learn about the different plants that make up this incredible region.
WEEK 3 – THE WORLD OF ROBOTS: This week we will experiment with gadgets and gizmos and all kinds of parts. What kind of robot can you create? What does a robot look like, and what can it do? We will play robot games, read robot books, and sing and dance like robots. Robot fun all week!
WEEK 4 – EVERYTHING PETS: This week, the children will create a veterinary hospital, a grooming salon, and a pet shop. We will read stories that will include I Want A Dog (ALA Notable Book), Oh The Pets You Can Get, and more. The kids will make leashes, collars, and doggie dinners. We will have turtle races and make a life-size hamster run for crawling and climbing, and more.
WEEK 5 – UNDER THE MAGICAL SEA: This week we will dive into the depths of the sea. Sea turtles, electric eels, and the wonders of a coral reef. We will also search for hidden treasures, and meet merpeople and other mythical sea creatures.
WEEK 6 – WILD AND CRAZY KID CHALLENGES: All the fun of our usual “Sports Week” but with a twist! Through a series of wild games and wacky activities, the kids will learn the excitement (and humor) of crazy competitions and teamwork.
