Summer Camp at Greenhouse

June 19-July 28

This summer, build onto your child’s natural curiosity and desire to explore and make sense of their world in an exciting and familiar setting. Join some of our faculty as we engage your child’s mind and body in scientific discovery, exploration of the natural world and physical, active play.

SCHEDULE INCLUDES

Science Studio: Regular visits to our Science Studio, designed and facilitated by Camp Director (and 3/4s Teacher) Paula Doerfel. Here, children will explore a broad collection of scientific materials and investigate small group hands-on activities intentionally designed to activate the curious and lively minds of our young scientists.

Outdoor Play, including water play: Whether it is playing in the mud kitchen in our small yard or visiting a neighborhood park, kids will have countless opportunity to be outside, moving their bodies, enjoying the summer fun.
