S.N.A.K.E. Camp (entering grades 1-5)
S.N.A.K.E. campers discover the natural world through engaging hands-on activities and exciting field trips related to 5 weekly themes.
SESSION INFO:
Session 1: June 21-25 Build It!
Spend a week learning about all kinds of structures: bridges, forts, sandcastles and more! Build a structure and see how it stands up to an earthquake. Build a contraption out of recycled materials. If you like to put things together—or take them apart—this week is for you!
Session 2: June 28-July 2 Animal, Vegetable, Mineral.
A sampling of the best things on Earth! We’ll meet some animals and learn all about them, go berry picking and find out cool stuff about plants, and even explore a cave and go rock climbing.
Session 3: July 5-9 Wet, wet, wet!
This week is all about water. We’ll play with water, learn about things that live in water and things that float on the water, and of course, go swimming!
Session 4: July 12-16 Nature Detectives.
Follow clues to discover hidden treasure! We’ll have treasure hunts, follow animal tracks, and go on a geocaching expedition with real GPS units.
Session 5: July 19-23 Take Flight!
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a SNAKE Camper! Join us as we learn about things that fly: birds, airplanes, kites, gliders, and even lucky SNAKE Campers. We’re hoping to include a day of safe indoor skydiving at iFly SF Bay so SNAKE Campers can learn to fly.
