Messy Science - Week of July 10 - 14

At nature camp, we are all Scientists, no matter your age or
experience level. During our Messy Science weeks, campers will
practice asking questions, gathering data, and using scientific
tools to explore our natural world. Campers will conduct
experiments, invent tools and most importantly, get messy!

Mini Worlds - Week of July 17 - 21

Nature is full of wonders, big and small. Our mini-worlds camp
encourages campers to slow down, crouch low, and discover
what mysteries lie beneath the leaves, rocks, and logs around
McKaig’s preserve. Campers will create their own worlds using
McKaig’s habitats as inspiration. Activities include exploring the
range of different ecosystems at McKaig, story writing, and
stream exploration.

Water Warriors - Week of July 24th - 28th

Where does McKaig’s stream flow to? What does the water
ecosystem provide for the living things that call McKaig home?
These are just a few of the questions that campers will be
investigating during McKaig’s Water Warriors camp. Campers
will go on a creek walk, find out what water looks like under a
microscope, and become environmental stewards of our local
watershed.

Nature Art - Week of July 31st - Aug 4th

Let your creative energy flow using nature as your muse! Nature
art is the perfect camp for those who love to create art, find
creative inspiration from nature, and love to be outside.
Campers will enjoy nature-based art projects such as making
their own paint, sculpture building, and nature journaling. No
artistic experience is required to have fun this week!
