For children ages 4-5The soil underneath our feet is an amazing world of worms and other soil creatures, just waiting to be discovered. Perhaps because children live closer to the ground than we adults, they absolutely love to explore and experience this wonderful world.
This camp is filled with adventures such as digging in the garden to search for earthworms and ground beetles, and exploring our worm bin that is home to red wigglers pillbugs, and millipedes. Children will harvest its rich compost and sprinkle it through our vegetable garden, carefully returning any stray worms back to the bin. They will add fresh bedding and leftover food scraps from our lunches to feed our new friends, and examine the stumps in our "messy materials" area for other decomposers at work!
Be aware that children will come home from this camp with extra amounts of dirt on their knees, matched by the giant smiles on their faces!
