The Conservancy developed a whole new format for Summer Camp 2020: six weeks of Learning Adventures for children age 3 – 10 combine virtual sessions at home with onsite exploration and fun projects at the Preserve.
Running through August 19, weekly themes are explored across three disciplines: art, STEAM, and yoga. Children can register for one or all disciplines, and for any number of weeks.
Children connect with our educators and each other on Zoom conferences for interactive and hands-on learning experiences – then families can bring weekly activity plans that extend the themes to the Preserve’s enriching environment for further exploration and lots of fun on the Great Lawn, in the forest, and on beach along the Long Island Sound.
Each week explores a different theme; instruction and activities are differentiated to create fun, age-appropriate sessions.
WEEKLY THEMES & ACTIVITIES
Animal Adventures: (July 13-15) Spend a week learning about our furry, feathered, and scaly friends! Learn to draw an animal in art; practice different animal poses in yoga; discover the amazing ways that animals adapt to survive.
Space Explorers: (July 20-22) Travel to space without leaving home! Create a night sky scene using oil pastels; learn to walk like an astronaut in yoga; explore the craters on the moon and discover the science behind rockets.
H20 Investigator: (July 27-29) All life on earth needs water to survive, but it can also be fun to play with! Paint with watercolors; learn to move like sea animals; learn about life in the wetlands, and make your own water filter for the outdoors.
Plant Pioneer: (Aug 3-5) Learn to appreciate plants, big and small! Paint a botanical still life; discover different plants and trees through yoga poses; examine what a plant needs to survive and dissect a flower to see what’s inside!
