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 Friday, our 2-3 year old Little Sprouts learned about the life cycle of bugs in Our Bug Friends and Life Cycles, part of our Little Sprouts programs. During the program, campers explored the anatomy of insects and learned a song to remember the parts of a bug’s body. Our Little Sprouts participated in a short play to learn the life cycle of a ladybug and we able to meet some live bug friends thanks to Mr. Matt Q., Phipps’ insect specialist! Campers also created a ladybug life cycle craft to take home. Make sure to check out our Little Sprouts summer camps!
