Description

Calling all garden friends! For this half-day camp, we will spend the week learning more about our relationship with our growing space and those who live there. Together, we will:

  • Learn how to use different garden tools like hand shovels, forks and watering cans.
  • Care for the garden by saving seeds, watering plants and digging in garden beds.
  • Play games and sing songs.
  • Discover the “web of life” of relationships in the garden.
  • Create and enjoy fresh garden snacks and tea
  • Practice being thankful and mindful in the garden, building a stronger connection with nature.

This camp is appropriate for preschoolers and rising Kindergarteners. To participate in drop-off preschool camp, campers must be potty-trained and comfortable using the bathroom independently away from home.
