Week 4: July 8-12 “Lenape Life”
The Lenape, the original inhabitants of our area, had a very close relationship with the natural world, and this week, campers will get a glimpse into their way of life. Campers will try their hand at a few Native American games, plant a Three Sister's garden, create crafts using natural materials and learn some of the lore that is passed down through time. FRIDAY FUN: LENAPE FOLKTALE THEATRE.
9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Week 6: July 22-26 “Skull and Bones”
Was an animal predator or prey? Was it a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore? Did it have any "super senses"? Skulls enable us to answer these and so many other questions! Skull sleuths in this week's camp will discover how to "read" animal skulls and will also investigate other clues that creatures leave behind, like scat, tracks and owl pellets. FRIDAY FUN: RRA NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM.
9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Week 8: Aug. 5-9 “Dirt Detectives”
Did you know that it can take 500 years for one inch of dirt to form? The ground beneath our feet is our ultimate natural resource. Soil nourishes all forms of life and is also full of life! Through experiments, games and activities, campers will "dig" the connection between the earth's "skin" and all living things. FRIDAY FUN: SECRETS OF THE SOIL TRAIL WALK
9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
