Description

Calling all bug friends! In this half-day preschool camp, we will dive right into the hidden world of bugs in the garden. Campers will engage in sensory play to dig into the soil and discover the complex world beneath our feet. Activities in this camp include observing different bug habitats and life cycles, making insect-inspired art, singing, and exploring an active worm bin. Campers will learn about invertebrate life cycles, adaptations, and their place in the greater ecosystem. We will use our senses to learn how important these critters are for the world as we know it.

To participate in drop-off preschool camp, campers must be potty-trained and independent in the bathroom.
