At-Home Summer Nature Camp

I know some of you are just beginning to thaw out from a long winter, but believe it or not, summer is right around the corner.

We’ve got big plans, of course. Among other things, there will be another epic summer road trip, plenty of time spent at the cabin in Yosemite, and lots of free time to play in nature – both in our backyard and beyond.

Although I welcome the down time that summer brings, I know it’s not for everyone. If you’re wondering how you’re going to fill the long days of summer, I’ve got an idea: Try the At-Home Summer Nature Camp.

What it is:  The lovely Liz of A Natural Nester has created an 8-week At-Home Summer Nature Camp eCurriculum packed with ideas and inspiration to help keep kids engaged and exploring the natural world all summer long. The curriculum, now available for download, is a full-color PDF that can be read on a computer screen or tablet, or printed out.

There are eight weekly themes:

• An edible garden
• The night sky
• At the beach
• A spot in the shade
• Ponds & frogs
• Rain, Rain
• Wildflowers & bees
• Sun fun

For each of the themes, the At-Home Summer Nature Camp eCurriculum provides:

• A fun, hands-on learning experience (think farmers’ market photo scavenger hunt and raising tadpoles),
• Projects in the kitchen that help kids connect food and nature,
• Ideas to get creative with step-by-step nature arts & crafts tutorials,
• Inexpensive field trip ideas tied in to each week’s theme,
• Theme-related book suggestions and more!

The best part is that when you place your order, you’ll receive all 8 weeks of camp in one document. That means you can put the eCurriculum into practice whenever it makes sense for you – and in an order that works with your family’s summer plans.

The At-Home Summer Nature Camp eCurriculum costs $39.99.
 
Who it’s good for: You! That is, if you’re interested in nature and looking to nurture that interest in your kids. The At-Home Summer Nature Camp eCurriculum is designed for kids ages 5 to 11, but can easily be adapted for kids of all ages.
