Last Week in Science Education Programming

By Emma Fraser

Last Week in Science Education Programming is our weekly seasonal segment featuring education programming. This is the place for camp parents to find pictures of their campers in action and see all the fun things we did throughout the week. It’s also a great place for educators to pick up craft, story and lesson ideas for their own early childhood programs!

Last Monday, our 2-3 year old Little Sprouts explored the wonders of being a seed in Our Silly Need for Seed, part of our Little Sprouts SEED programs. During this program, campers dissected and identified the different parts of a seed, observed and sorted seeds based on color, size and shape, and learned about the ways seeds travel by playing a fun and interactive seed dispersal freeze dance game. Campers also made grass seed bulbs and puppets to take home! Join us every Monday for the Little Sprouts SEED Program.
