Discover how plants and animals are the original architects of the natural world and use their tricks to design your own imaginative creations as we explore, build and innovate.
- Investigate the construction of bird nests, beaver dams and spider webs, then create your own animal-inspired structures using natural materials.
- Team up to design, create, test and refine solutions to engineering challenges.
- Experiment with LEGO™ bricks, magnifying lenses, microscopes and a variety of other tools that will bring your ideas to life!
Explore, discover, and connect to nature in fun and imaginative ways! Campers will look for mysteries in fallen logs, build forts in the woods, develop a sense of curiosity, and cultivate a love of the natural world through outdoor play and child-led adventures.
- New themes and activity stations each day including building, art and water play.
- Fun engineering challenges that develop confidence and creative thinking.
- Lots of time for spontaneous free play, wonder, and discovery with new friends.
