Discover a Hidden World!
Shrink dow to the scale of cells, bacteria, and tiny creatures in this mind-blowing, hands-on camp! Perfect for kids who love to explore the smallest, strangest parts of the natural world, this camp is all about zooming in, getting curious, and uncoveering the mysteries of the micro.
🔬 Day 1: It’s Alive! –
Cells, Seeds, and Tiny Things
Campers will zoom in on the building blocks of life, exploring cells, seeds, and the tiniest creatures. They’ll create edible cell models, sprout their own microgreens, and observe tiny life through magnifiers.
🎨 Art Extension: Microscopic Mosaics – Use clay, beads, and other small items to create intricate, cell-inspired art.
🌱 Family Connection: Build a mini greenhouse or seed starter station at home.
🦠 Day 2: Micro Madness – Bacteria, Fungi, and the Invisible World
Get ready to be amazed (and maybe a little grossed out)! Campers will grow mold, explore the strange world of fungi, and discover the power of bacteria. They’ll even test their hand-washing skills in a “germ glow” experiment!
🖌️ Art Extension: Fungi Sculpture Garden – Create 3D models of your favorite (or creepiest) fungi.
🦠 Family Connection: Make a batch of homemade yogurt or try bread baking to explore fermentation.
🪲 Day 3: Tiny Titans: Insects, Arachnids, and Microscopic Movers
Campers will shrink down to the world of insects and other tiny creatures, building bug hotels, designing insect wings, and even racing their own microbots.
🎨 Art Extension: Insect Wing Stained Glass – Create colorful, transparent insect wings to hang in a sunny window.
🪲 Family Connection: Go on a backyard bug hunt or create a family insect guidebook.
