Dirty Fingernails Garden Camp is an immersive, entertaining, and empowering day camp for children ages 10 to 13. Garden Camp includes fun hands-on learning activities and daily themes focused on gardening and science. Experienced, certified educators share their passions and knowledge, along with embracing the amazing teachable moments that come with being welcomed on a working seed farm.
Where do seeds come from? How does a seed become a plant? Are all roots the same? What about all leaves? Stems? Why are there flowers? Do all plants have flowers? Do all plants have seeds? The questions are endless! Join us for a week of exploring possible answers to these and many other questions.
During Seed to Flower week, daily themes focus on gardening, ecology, and connection, taught through the lenses of diversity and interconnectedness. Learning is hands on, student focused, and fun! :) Sample activities might include: scavenger hunts, farm walks, planting, seed harvesting, nature journaling, nature art and lots more!
