Description

MARCH SPRING BREAK CAMP IS CANCELLED DUE TO THE WEATHER. REGISTRATIONS FOR APRIL SPRING BREAK CAMP IS STILL OPEN.

Join the Sonoma Ecology Center Earthlings for our low-cost spring break in the oak woodland and garden settings on March 13-17 or April 10-14 (Monday-Friday, 9:00 am-3:00 pm). Together, ages 7-11 will grow as junior naturalists and agriculturists. Let’s play games, plant crops, draw and journal nature observations, conduct experiments, and craft artwork and culinary concoctions. This week will provide much-needed time to immerse in the local habitat while enjoying friends.

On the first day, we will tour the 6-acre farm and straw bale barn, play in the dirt, and on the new children's nature play area (!) while studying soil and building compost. Day 2 is focussed on pollinators, from a hedgerow game to the bee and butterfly garden hunts. On Day 3, we will branch out into the oak woodlands to observe birds and wildlife and create crafts. Day 4 is centered around resources and caring for the planet, enjoying culinary delights, harvesting, preparing and creating new recipes. Day 5 will be open for free play, recaps of the week, and debriefs on the experience.

Please note that this event will not have Spanish-English bilingual support. Please share this event!

This Spring Break Camp is created based on our Growing Discovery, Wildlife Defenders, and Water Wonders programs, which include activities on sustainability and climate.
