Week 3 – Nature Explorers (July 22-25): Calling all adventurers and outdoor explorers! We’ll spend time outside learning outdoor survival skills, orienteering, nature identification, and how to have fun in harmony with our environment.

Week 4 – Around the World (July 29-Aug 1): Get your passports ready! Each day, we’ll visit a different continent and learn how they play and move, what they eat, and how they celebrate!

Week 5 – Time Travelers (August 5-8): Jump through time as we visit different eras! Swashbuckling pirates with hidden treasure, compete at the medieval games, go horseback riding in the wild west, and run away to join the circus with us! So much to do, so little time!
