Children will spend 10-20 minutes a day individually observing and journaling. Students will have the opportunity to partner with the preschool Friday Fun Class to practice being a naturalist. Each activity will help students grasp what it means to be a naturalist while practicing the necessary skills to become one.

Water will always be available. Camp size is limited to 15 children.
