Give your preschooler a green thumb without using paint! Campers will learn about plants by dissecting seeds, making leaf rubbings and creating frameable fruit and veggie prints. Learn what types of weather are vital for a healthy garden. Put on your Bee-utiful Bug Costume and flutter by the camp as you learn about one of a flower's favorite pollinators! Come see what the buzz is all about!

Children must be potty trained.

Our greenhouse and gardens provide wonderful opportunities to connect with nature as campers interact with native plants and fresh vegetables. In addition to exploring the spaces and engaging in plant and natural material related activities, campers will observe the insects and wildlife that play important roles in our schoolyard ecosystem. All campers will choose their own herb or vegetable to take home and grow this summer! 

The “Little Green Thumbs!” five-session preschool camp offers young children an exciting introduction to basic environmental science. Each session is devoted to different aspects of the garden, allowing children to progressively enrich their understanding of how living things grow and how they interact with the environment around them. During the course of each three-hour session, children will perform hands-on experiments, play themed games, and enjoy a story related to the session’s themes. A mural will grow through the course of the program as children illustrate their latest discoveries at the close of each session.

Travel through the wonderful world of children’s books. Get excited about books through art, imagination stations, games, crafts, music, singing, and movement! We’ll be true bookworms in the Garden with activities both outside, inside and in our wonderful NCS library. 4/5s and KDG campers will take a trip to the library for storytelling and ice cream. We’ll try some yummy recipes to munch on while we read and relax. The theme will change each week of this 3-week session. Who knows where our imaginations will take us!
