Dirt, Soil, Clay and More: Nature Discovery Camp

Welcome to an exciting journey beneath our feet! In our Dirt, Soil, Clay and More week, campers will explore the mysteries of dirt, soil, and clay through engaging hands-on activities. From crafting mud milkshake concoctions to sculpting clay masterpieces, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Our exploration begins with a deep dive into the intricate ecosystems thriving beneath the surface. Campers will learn about the essential roles of underground critters like earthworms and rollie-pollies in maintaining healthy soil.

But the excitement doesn't end there! We'll also uncover the hidden communication networks of trees, mushrooms, and plant roots, playing games to simulate their complex interactions. Through experiments and activities, campers will gain a newfound appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things.

In our art corner, creativity knows no bounds as we paint with mud and craft clay sculptures from recycled materials. Armed with nature's treasures, campers will unleash their imaginations to create stunning artworks and erupting clay volcanoes.

And it's not just about fun and games – we'll also learn about sustainability through the 3 Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle. Campers will explore the lifecycle of plants, master the art of composting, and create colorful compost piles using our lasagna method.

Join us for an exploration of dirt, soil, clay, and more at our Nature Discovery Camp. It's an unforgettable experience that will inspire a lifelong love of nature and the great outdoors.
