Summer Discoveries is a full-day drop-off program just for kids. Come and spend your summer vacation exploring with us! Each week in our Summer Discoveries program highlights a different topic through games, hands-on investigations, trail explorations, stories, art, and literature.
Overview
Summer Discoveries is an outdoor nature-based drop off program focused on getting children excited about and engaged with the natural world. Each week-long session will explore a different theme with a series of age-appropriate hands-on investigations, field studies, art projects, games, and more. Each day in the Summer Discoveries program will feature time for campers to participate in free choice activities, create, engineer, explore, and discover. A day at camp runs 9:00AM – 3:00PM, with different activity blocks throughout the day during which campers will investigate different habitats, ecosystems, and wildlife species at the garden. Campers will spend their days outside exploring, and participating in noncompetitive games, songs, and stories.
What to Pack
Our Summer Discoveries program is held mostly outdoors with an indoor classroom that will act as a home base and be utilized during inclement weather. Children should dress according to the weather conditions. We will often be hiking and exploring over areas of uneven terrain and will spend as much time outdoors as possible. Close toed, waterproof shoes are highly encouraged. Children should also bring a refillable water bottle, and a non-perishable, nut-free snack, and lunch. Please apply sunscreen and insect repellent before arrival and pack extra for reapplication throughout the day. Children should bring a small knapsack to carry their supplies with them throughout the day. It is also recommended that you pack a light jacket or raincoat, extra socks, and extra layers in case of shifts in the weather.
