July 29-August 2 - Sauvie Island Center Farm Camp.
9:30 - 3:00. This camp is for children entering 3rd, 4th or 5th grade in the fall of 2013.
Summer camps allow children to spend a week exploring the 16 acre Sauvie Island Organics farm and adjacent grounds of Metro's Howell Territorial Park. Each day at camp will be a new adventure, focusing on one area of the Sauvie Island Center curriculum, including: Healthy Soils, Plant Parts, Seed to Harvest, Wildlife and the Food Web, and the Pollination Station.
Sauvie Island Center's education staff will guide campers through exploration activities and a daily nature journaling exercise. In addition, campers will gather produce from our Grow Lunch Garden and use their harvest to prepare fresh, tasty supplements to their own sack lunches.
One day during the week, we'll be joined by a chef from New Seasons Market, who will harvest vegetables and do a special cooking project with campers.
Other activities include nature-themed arts and crafts projects and group games. Farm camp is an outdoor experience. Children will be outside all day, everyday soaking up the fresh air and sunshine.
