Age 3 - rising 1st graders
“Garden Wonders and Legends” camp is an opportunity for campers to use their imaginations and the Garden as inspiration as we create stories and art. We will understand the history of gardening in the U.S.A., such as Victory Gardens and how gardening became seen as a form of patriotism. We will spend our time planting in our own Victory garden bed and cooking in our outdoor kitchen. In addition, we will be tending to Garden beds, harvesting and creating recipes while preparing food from the garden. Campers will also learn about herbs and mindfulness, and the metaphorical connections between plant nature and human nature. We will spend time in our Imagination Area, tending our beds and completing our geometric build out. Each day will hold opportunities for art, physical activity and gardening.
