Summer Ecology Camp 2016 Registration Opens

What are YOU doing this summer? For the third year, Merryspring and Knox-Lincoln Country Soil & Water Conservation District are teaming up to provide two weeks of Summer Ecology Camp for two age groups.

Kids ages 7 to 9 will be in Eco-Explorers during the week of June 27 through July 1. Young children ages 4 to 6 can attend Little Sprouts from July 11 through July 15. Both weeks of camp are morning programs ending by 12:00 noon.
Summer Ecology camps offer a week of hands-on, outdoor learning where kids receive an introduction to nature, ecology, and natural resources through hands-on play, outdoor science activities, observation, nature walks, and gardening. Each day offers a different theme, with its own unique activities.

Children can expect to be active and outdoors all morning. Themed snacks and water will be provided each day.

For more information and for registration forms, check the Merryspring website or the Knox-Lincoln website. Registration forms can also be picked up in person at the Ross Center or at the Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District office on Rt 90 in Rockland.

The cost of Eco-Explorers camp is $95; Little Sprouts is $75, with a discounted rates of $85 and $65 respectively for Merryspring member families.
