Join us for a adventure-filled week of exploration, investigation, engineering, and play all centered in outdoor natural environments. Preschoolers will take daily walking trips to the forest, garden, creek, and clearings on the property to engage in outdoor activities that tap into preschoolers’ natural sense of wonder and imagination while incorporating math, literacy, art, and social skills.  Some activities include building with natural materials, leaf discrimination and prints, bug collecting, and counting.  

But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you.  Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?  In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of mankind.  Job 12:7-10

Let's blast off into an interstellar adventure as our aspiring astronauts and space enthusiasts embark on an out-of-this world journey through space. Campers will explore the wonders of the cosmos, build and launch multiple rockets, and learn about the planets, stars, and galaxies that fill our universe.  They will learn what it would be like to live and work in space as an astronaut. Let's start your space training now!

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1

Explorers  will embark on a week long study of discovering both the truth of God’s word and evidences that help lead someone to find the truth.   Using forensic science skills such as observation, fingerprinting, castings, powder identification, chromatography, fibers and hair analysis, and trajectory students will uncover mysteries behind various crimes.  The week will also hold a special visit from a guest law enforcement officer and a large culminating mystery challenge to test skills at the end of the week. 

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Stories and fairytales are so fun to read and explore, but there is always a problem to solve. In this interactive, engineering camp, students will have to put their minds to work and enhance their problem-solving skills as they design. They will create devices such as a wolf-proof house for the three little pigs, an elevator so Rapunzel can leave her tower, and a parachute device so Humpty Dumpty lands safely.  Each day will be filled with new adventures and storybook characters to be rescued as we engineer contraptions to solve their fairy tale problems. Join us for this weeklong STEM experience for little learners. 

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.    James 1:5

Camp explorers  will study the life in and around the creek and the physics and geologic processes behind its changing banks. Activities include collecting and identifying macroinvertebrates (examples include crayfish, dragonfly nymphs), calculating stream flow, building their own stream models, designing their own boat to travel the creek the fastest, visiting the temporary aquarium (if possible) to observe animals that travel our creeks and rivers.  Students will also learn how to care for our waterways and how to be good stewards of one of our most valuable resources.

Explorers  will experience what makes our coastal environment unique. Students will explore the habitats that make up our beaches and coastlines.  While visiting the Coquina Outcrop, the sound, and the ocean students will discover the organisms that live there, how they are designed to survive in their habitat, and how we can steward and care for these places so many call home to . Morning activities will include pier fishing, surf fishing, seine and cast netting.  Afternoon activities will include organism identification, dissection, and stewardship engineering. 

Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:26
