8/4-8/8 Week 8 "Searching High, Looking Low" (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!

Children are invited to explore Avery Park with new eyes using binoculars to look up high and far away or magnifying glasses to see the little things up close. We'll read the book "Beneath" and talk about what we might find below the grass. We'll spend Friday at Willamette Park. Campers can be dropped off near the shelter. Bikes and scooters are welcome—don't forget your helmet!

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.
