Learning-in-Nature Summer Camps

Our summers begin with two weeks of Learning-in-Nature camps; Learning-in-Nature I for rising second graders and Learning-in-Nature II for rising third graders.  These camps, funded by The Grable Foundation, offer youngsters, who are failing or at-risk of failing in school, hands-on learning experiences in nature, practicing and applying their developing literacy skills in a new venue -  the outdoors!

Each day includes 'journal entries' where children record their day's observations and discoveries, creative opportunities to use the arts to express their learning as well as time to dialogue about their discoveries, and to share their questions and observations. Our days also make time for amazing nature-based games, opportunities to collaborate and an awful lot of fun...

Thanks to ongoing funding from The Grable Foundation, the children served through these programs have an opportunity to return for three consecutive summers in order to build on their learning experiences in nature with us!
