Description
We have TWO different camp themes for students 4-5 years old: Puffin Protectors and Salmon Savers!
The state endangered Tufted Puffin and threatened Salmon will be our feature creatures for these camps.
These four day camps (9AM-12PM) are designed to cultivate natural curiosity, adventure, group play, and imagination for the young child. All activities will take place in the forests or on the shores surrounding the magnificent Salish Sea.
On the first day of camp students will adopt the feature creature plushy. This will be theirs to “protect” as they learn, play, and explore together.
The last day of camp includes a chartered boat ride. one parent/guardian is required to join their child.
During the week your child will also enjoy:
-
Forest to shore hiking adventures
-
Tidal pool exploration
-
Ecofriendly art projects
-
Mindfulness in nature
-
Service learning with beach cleanup
-
10:3 student-to-teacher ratio
