Event Summary
This camp is intended for students who are starting Kindergarten. Children must be 5 years of age by August 1, 2025 in order to attend. Parents are not allowed to stay with children (we require background checks on each person that is around children). This camp runs Monday-Thursday, July 21-24, 2025.
Dirt Day What is dirt? Who lives in dirt? Today is dirt day, and the earthworms will be our guides to investigate who and what lives in the soil. We will explore dirt factories, create mud pies, build worm ranches, and dig in the soil. Your child needs to wear clothes, shoes, and socks that can get wet and muddy!
Rock Day We'll be looking at rocks at McFarland Park. We'll learn how we use rocks every day, identify our own rock by touch, color, and hardness, build our own rock collection, and then experiment making volcanoes!
Plant Day Plantastic, today is plant day! We will learn the parts of plants, investigate how we use plants every day, go on a plant hike, and build with parts of trees!
Water Day On our last day it’s all about exploring water! Why is water important to animals and us? We will take part in water experiments, build aluminum boats, and end our day with a water fight! Your child needs to wear clothes, shoes, and socks that can get very wet! NO sandals please.
