We start the week learning what extinction is by studying the dinosaurs, and spend the rest of the week learning how many of the animal favorites like elephants, giraffes, tigers, and gorillas are being affected all over the world. Kids will explore common threats to biodiversity across the globe through the eyes of an animal.

    SUSTAINABLE KIDS

    Campers take a deep dive into what it means to be sustainable. Our adventures include taking a field trip to Lake Michigan to test the water quality, cleaning the beach, learning the ins and outs of the CTA, planting a kitchen garden, and practicing ways kids can become more sustainable at home.

    ANIMALS AROUND THE WORLD

    Campers spend the week exploring some of our favorite animals from countries all over the globe. Kids will explore locations like the depths of the ocean, the desert, the Amazon rainforest, the Arctic, Antarctica, and different regions of Africa to learn how animals like whales, polar bears, giraffes, tigers, chameleons, and elephants share a unique bond with the environments where they live.

Campers learn sustainable ways to eat and grow their food, the basics of clouds and weather, the benefits of renewable energy, the importance of water conservation, and they will also participate in a community action project at the end of the week.

    ANIMAL HABITATS

    Campers spend the week exploring the unique features of animals from all over the world andexamine the special behavior traits that have developed, in part, because of where they live. During this week kids visit places like the coral reefs, the deserts of the American southwest, the rainforests of Southeast Asia, the forests and grasslands of Australia, and the mangrove forests of India.

    LEAVE IT BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT: AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS

    Campers spend the week exploring the world through the eyes of the animals living in America’s incredible national parks. Kids will plan what they need for their trip each day as they learn about animals in ecosystems like the Everglades, the Redwoods, Yellowstone National Park, and the desert ecosystems of Joshua Tree and Saguro National Park. As we explore each park, campers will learn about the conservation efforts going on there so they will know first-hand how to help preserve these incredible landscapes.
