Camp Schedule

Week of June 10-14

Farm and Forest Fun (4 and 5-year-olds) Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-noon
Members $65; Nonmembers $80
Both the farm and forest are filled with many different plants and animals. Some animals that live at Landmark Park come out at night to hunt for food, make repairs to their homes and frolic in the woods. Others are awake in the daytime, grazing in the warmth and sunshine and sleep when the stars come out. Spend the week learning the difference between the nocturnal and diurnal animals that call the park home. We will spend time on the farm with the animals active in the daytime and time in the forest looking for scat, footprints and other signs left behind by those animals only awake when the sun goes down.

Earth Art (6, 7, and 8-year-olds) Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-noon

Let your creative side run wild during Earth Art camp! The colors found at Landmark park are beautiful during the summer, from the green grass and the blue sky to the orange, pink and purple flowers found in our native wildflower garden. This fun-filled week will be spent enjoying Mother Nature and all her beauty. There is no better way to learn about the wonders of plants, insects and other animals than through your own imagination and creativity. Using natural elements found on our nature trails and farmstead, campers will each day design their own unique work of art.
