We’ll learn about ecology and the life cycle of plants and animals, how to grow and care for them, and how nature is connected to our everyday lives. In addition to the building and growing, campers will also be moving their bodies learning various types of dance and doing some centering yoga! For our field trips we’ll be heading to a local farm and to the Oakland or SF Zoo (TBC)!
