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 how bugs and humans grow in Growing Up!, part of our Little Sprouts SEED programs. During this program, campers played a sorting game with sprouting seeds, mature plants, babies and adults to understand the lifecycles of different living things. Using colored strips of paper marked in inches and colored squares, our campers made their very own ruler bookmarks. We were even joined by a real entomologist who showed us cool roly-poly bugs and millipedes!  Join us every Monday for the Little Sprouts SEED Program.
