Session 1: Life on the Brandeis Farm
(June 10 - June 21)
REGISTER HERE Let's get our hands dirty this summer! We’ll be exploring the wonders of the plants and animals of both the farm and the natural world. Campers will create their own little Camp Brandeis Farm, by building planters, planting our own vegetables and flowers, making pottery, sculptures and more. We’ll learn about ecology and the life cycle of plants and animals, how to grow and care for them, and how nature is connected to our everyday lives. In addition to the building and growing, campers will also be moving their bodies learning various types of dance and doing some centering yoga! For our field trips we’ll be heading to a local farm and to the Oakland or SF Zoo (TBC)!
