PLANTS of CONFLUENCE: CLAY AND PLAY

July 5 - 8 2022 

(No camp on July 4)

Plants of Confluence: Clay and Play: Kids will learn about wetland ecology as they dig into ooey, gooey local clay that they extract, clean, and form.  Students will have lots of fun “playing with mud” in the clay pits and then learn how to shape clay into small vases by using hand-built clay techniques. Vases will be imprinted with ferns or flowers, kiln or air-dried, and painted. As a public service component, vases will be given to local organizations or businesses for displaying local wildflowers. Students will use nature walks and handmade journals to learn about common local species.  We'll use clay and flowers for all sorts of fun projects!  Supplementary activities will include daily hikes, swimming, craft projects, music and games related to clay, geology, and local plants.
