Aquatic

Our first camp session will dig into all that our oceans and seas have to offer. Through a myriad of art, sensory, and science explorations, campers will learn about the countless animals that inhabit these bodies of water, and how they float, move, and breathe in these waters. 

Desert

Through sensory explorations of desert soil and climate, campers will learn about the desert biome which covers nearly 1/3 of the earth's land mass. Campers will also engage in investigations that will serve to deepen their understanding of how desert flora collects and holds water throughout the longest droughts. 

Forest

(Rainforest/Temperate Deciduous)

Forests are home to over 80% of the world's land-based animals, plans and insects, and can vary in composition from humid rainforests, to the temperate deciduous forest that our home, New York City, is home to. Deepening their explorations of soil composition and climate from session 2, in session 3 campers will dig into the unique terrain and climate of the earth's forests, paying special attention to the myriad of wildlife (especially insects!) that call this ecosystem home. As part of this session, campers will participate in a hands-on workshop in building their very own forest terrarium!

Grasslands

Grasslands, both tropical and temperate, cover nearly half of the earth's surface and are marked by minimal trees and shrubs, and distinct dry and wet periods. Continuing their work in our rooftop garden, in the final session of camp, children will solidify their understanding of the relationships between flora and fauna within an ecosystem by creating their very own!
