Making Observations
During this introductory session, campers will work together to make observations of the natural world around. They will also practice investigation, thinking like a scientist, and sensory skills as they explore an outdoor area.
Digging Into the Soil
During this session, students will dig into the soil ecosystem! They will learn how soil forms the foundation for life on earth and investigate the different types of soil that are found in New Hanover County. We might even meet some wiggling worms!
Storm Water Sleuths
