Through guided regenerative farming techniques,
students will learn to plant, cultivate, harvest and prepare
food in a holistic way. Through their exploration of the
soil, plants and animals in the garden, they will create
community around the table. This will help them to
integrate communication, movement, and healthy habits,
all while expending energy outside!
Weird Science w/ Ms. Sarah

Put on your lab coats and goggles and get ready to explore
the mysteries of the scientific world! Every day we will be
diving into different disciplines of science. From chemistry,
human biology, astronomy, and geology to marine biology,
plant biology, microbiology, and color science. Tailored
towards the minds of early childhood we will experience
science through hands-on experiments. The children will
be able to interact through sensory stimuli of touch, sight,
sound, and smell with each project. There is only one rule
to follow during this camp and that is that science rules!
