Garden Camp

Sponsored by the Prairie Ecology Bus Center (PEBC)

For kids completing 2nd - 6th Grades

June 8 through September, 2010

PEBC Children's Garden

Sparks Park 935 N. Hwy 86 - Lakefield, MN

 

Garden Camp is a summer-long day camp that will teach your child the "ins and outs" of gardening, from planting to watering to harvesting. The group will meet for 2 hours - once a week - throughout the summer months.

The first Garden Camp began on June 8 and will continue into September. Camp meets at 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. during summer days on the dates listed below and will meet after school starting August 26th.

The kids are learning to care for their garden and do other fun activities such as decorating their own garden visors, making stepping stones, leaf pounding, creating toad houses, just to name a few fun crafts. PLUS they'll learn to make healthy foods using the garden's produce.These activities and many more intriguing adventures await this summer's crop of Camp Gardeners.

This is an ideal opportunity for youth to learn about Minnesota's agricultural heritage first-hand as they experience the joy of digging their hands in the soil and the fun of picking and eating produce they raised themselves.

Call the PEBC office at 662-5064 or email marilyn@ecologybus.org for more information.
