Eco-Explorers Enrichment Camp
Hop in our Jeep or submarine and explore the world’s most fascinating ecosystems through hands-on experiments, literature, and creative projects.
About This Camp
Science, stories, and the natural world.
Calling all budding botanists! In this educational enrichment camp, your students will examine the wonders of science. They will examine different ecosystems, how animals behave and interact with one another. Through interactive activities, experiments, and group projects, our student-centered curriculum will make biology fun and understandable.
After students have learned about an ecosystem, they will read literature about those animals and make connections between fiction and the real world. This interdisciplinary course will also teach them how to effectively interact with a text to develop a better understanding and a love of literature.
Hands-on & Project-Based
2 Exciting Sessions
What Students Explore
Two sessions. Two worlds of discovery.
-
1
Session 1: “From Salt Water to Sand Dunes”
In this section of Eco-Explorers, students will explore the ocean, the tundra, and the desert. Students will read books based on these habitats in order to learn about the climates and the animals that live there. Then, students will complete science experiments, engage in interactive activities, and complete creative projects in order to apply this knowledge.

Session 2: “From the Lowlands to the Canopy”
In this section of Eco-Explorers, students will explore the grasslands, deciduous forests, and the rainforests. Working as a class as well as in groups and individually, students will read books, create crafts, and complete activities — both interactive and scientific — that will allow them to learn about both the climates and the wildlife of these biomes. In the last session, students will choose one biome they have learned about, and using the facts they have collected on it, will create and present a diorama based on their biome.
