2010 Summer Camp
Back To The Farm June 14-18
Ages 3 to 5
Spend a week on “our farm”. Plant fruit and vegetable seeds, make butter and jam, bake bread, square dance, and enjoy your own homemade ice cream. Grab your hat and join the fun as we ride in wheelbarrows, pretend to be farm animals, and sing silly songs at the farm.
Clay Camp June 21-25
Ages 4 to 8
Pinch, squish, smash, roll! Explore hand building with clay and experiment, create and design. Grab a mound of clay and get creative as we make pinch pots, coil pots and roll slabs. Build your box of treasures and present your masterpieces at your own art show.
Construction Zone July 12-16
Ages 3 to 5
Get ready to dig, mix, and build! Create buildings, roads, and whole cities with construction blocks, diggers, front-loaders and bulldozers! Dress up in construction worker safety clothes and use tools, mix “cement” and make 3D sculptures. Let your imagination run wild on our construction and demolition teams.
Herpetology July 19-23

Junk & Treasures August 2-6
Ages 3 to 5
One person’s junk is another’s treasure. Explore, tinker, discover and we take apart small appliances, old gadgets and computers. Bring your imagination to our station. Invent new appliances and create one of a kind artwork and wind chimes as we turn junk into new treasures.
Kid’s Café August 9-13
