If it is icky, sticky, messy or gross, it's Gross Out Day Camp! Slimy salamanders, slugs, bugs, crawdads and roly polies are all found as campers explore their world through hands-on field biology. In this award-winning science camp, campers from 1st through 4th grades learn about plants, trees, insects and animals.  (It's science but please don't tell the kids.) The camp combines science experiments, exploring and nature-inspired arts and crafts to address a variety of learning styles. Activities include Meet-a-Tree (scientific observation), Build-a-Beast (scientific method), and making non-Newtonian fluids (physics/chemistry). The camp runs from 9am - 5pm with before and after care available from 8am-6pm. Each camp consists of 20 campers taught by an expert in outdoor education. Bring your own lunch, water bottle and snacks. $300 per week. $325 per week with before and after care.

Please contact instructor for scholarship information!
