Summer Nature Camp Week 6

In addition to our classic nature camp activities this week, for our Home Sweet Home theme campers explore types of animal homes from the treetops to the underground. Campers investigate the purpose of these homes for different species of animals, from insects and birds, to mammals and fish. Although the reason, season, location, materials and size vary for each, the natural world is full of amazing architects!

Fish campers spend the week learning different skills and techniques to land their catch!  Campers use fishing poles, seine nets and other methods to maximize their catch leading to a well-rounded week around the water.  As part of this week’s experience, campers learn the ancient Japanese art form of Gyotaku and take home their own fish-printed shirt. Fish Camp includes field trips around the area to local fishing spots.

All in the same week you’ll hike the trails at the Nature Center and learn how to sail at Mystic Seaport on the beautiful Mystic River. The Nature Center offers miles of hiking and exploration, live-animal encounters and more! While at Mystic Seaport, campers learn the basics of sailing terminology as well as seamanship skills, including knot tying and rigging, boat handling and the enjoyment of sailing. Campers will spend Monday and Tuesday of the week sailing at Mystic Seaport, and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the Nature Center for this collaborative camp session.
