Children are natural scientists – questioning, comparing, observing – that’s exactly what groups of 6-12 year olds get to do during Footsteps to Summer Fun Day Camp at Placer Nature Center.
Placer Nature Center's summer day camp gives children the opportunity to experience, discover and explore the great outdoors! Focused on a nature-related theme, activities meet California Content Standards in science education.
Camp incorporates art, structured and unstructured play, writing, reading, and theme related science experiments - they won't realize they are learning while having so much fun!
Campers take part in nature crafts, games, puppet shows, plant & animal investigations, trail hikes, songs and more, all under the guidance of Trained Docents/staff and Jr. Naturalists. Friendships are formed with their peers as well as with our trained and very caring teen Jr. Naturalists - many are former campers themselves!
“Wings” is the last session of the summer. The camp runs from July 13-17 from 9AM to 1 PM, Monday through Friday and is open to children between 6 and 12 years old. Camp fees are $75/ week for members of Placer Nature Center and $85/week for the general public.
Sample Camp Activities: Pinecone birds, bird calls, make a bird nest, bird restaurant, bird songs & more.
What they will learn: natural camouflage, beaks, feet, feathers & why they look the way they do, migration, bird behavior & more.
