June Mini-Camp in Nature

Preschool is out……it’s time for June Mini-Camp! Join us for fun and learning in the sun at our outdoor STEM program.

Your child will spend the week being a nature detective, learning about the plant and animal wildlife around Sheldrake’s 60 acres.

Time will be spent exploring the natural world, listening to nature stories, crafting, and playing games.

For children ages 3-6

Camp registration is by week, allowing campers to pick and choose. The 2023 schedule is as follows:

A Typical Day at Camp

Camp sessions will be held outside, rain or shine, so students should dress accordingly.

During a typical camp day, children go on an outdoor discovery walk to explore the 60-acre conservancy property, engage in hands-on ecology lessons, and search for signs of animals.

Campers will enjoy a nature-themed story time, do a nature craft, and have a snack.
