Our Amazing Earth

Our Earth is an extraordinary planet and the only home to life that we presently know of.  Our Amazing Earth is an exciting week of exploration, wonder, and inquiry that introduces students to the dynamic systems that shape our planet. From towering mountains and vast oceans to powerful storms and shifting tectonic plates, students discover how Earth’s interconnected systems work together to create and sustain life.  Students will learn about rock cycle, weather and climate, ecosystems, natural resources, and environmental change. This camp will be an active, hands-on opportunity to explore the world around us.  Students will learn about different ecosystems on Earth and how those systems are affected by human activity.  Through team work, curiosity, and fun, students will build a deeper understanding and appreciation for our most amazing Earth!
