7/28-8/1 Week 7 "Trailblazing" (Caterpillar Camp)
Description
Digging in the dirt, exploring the natural world, and making art with reusable materials - we have something for everyone! Caterpillar Camp will be all outdoors, with occasional trips inside Avery House to say hello to the indoor animals. We will meet near the Avery Park Inclusive Playground (across the street from Parks & Recreation Admin Office at 1310 SW Avery Park Dr.) Monday-Thursday, and nearby parks for Field Trip Fridays. Let's explore!

There are several little trails we can explore—some are shortcuts to our favorite playground, while others are longer and lead us to the river. We’ll discover them all. This week, we’ll mix things up for our Friday Field Trip. We’ll head downtown, starting at the Central Park playground, walk to the library, and finish our day at the fountains for some water fun. Campers can be picked up at the Riverfront Memorial Park (fountain). In preparation for our downtown field trip we will read "Mr. Walker Steps Out" and practice safe street crossing.

Camp schedule: Drop-off is between 9:15 - 9:30 am and camp activities run 9:30 am - 1:30 pm all week. No aftercare is offered for this camp.

Note: Campers must be three years old and completely potty trained by the time camp starts.
