Eco Explorers Summer Camp

We are moving to Prospect Park this year! Discover the ecosystem that supports plants, animals, and you through hands-on activities and games. Explore how the biotic and abiotic (living and non-living) components of the park interact with each other, where your food comes from, and how you are a part of this ecosystem. Observe the diversity of plants and animals through walking the trails of the park. Delve into the world of insects, worms, and fungus in the soil that supports all life. Grow your leadership and communication skills through teambuilding challenges. Create nature-inspired art, learn how to make natural products, and which plants in the park are edible! We will even do a little yoga, discover more about ourselves, and make close friendships.

Here are some things you can expect to do at Eco Explorers Camp:

• Ecology- explore the park's ecosystems through hikes, journaling, animal observations, foraging, botanical explorations, games, and more.
• Gardening- lean where your food comes from with gardening and composting.
• Creative- art projects, make your own DIY products, and yoga.
• Trips- visit the Prospect Park Zoo and Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
• Canoe- Urban Park Rangers with show us how to navigate the water in a canoe!
