Ijams Nature Center: Preschool Summer Camp
Category: Classes, workshops, Health, wellness, Kids, family and Science, nature
https://www.ijams.org/preschool-summer-camp
Preschool Summer Camp focuses on child-led, age-appropriate, and experiential learning for children ages 3-5. Most of the day is spent outdoors, exploring nature and making a strong connection with the environment. Children learn through play, discovery, and inquiry. Not only do children develop a solid foundation for lifelong learning but also cultivate a love of nature that is the basis for a conservation ethic later in life. Each session is a combination of outdoor play, nature hikes, and animal presentations. Special crafts, art projects, and/or hands-on activities throughout the week allow campers to explore different topics based on their interests. Preschool camp is held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
