STEAMCamp Jr.: Natural World

Dobbs Ferry

An August Curious-on-Hudson STEAM (science, tech, engineering arts and “maker”) camp focused on the natural world for children entering grades K-2.  Each week we will pursue themes of nature and explore the way things work.  Come! Let's do stuff and explore what it is like to be a PALEONTOLOGIST (8/6-8/10), an AQUANAUT (8/13-8/17) and a CURIOLOGIST (8/20-8/24).

    PALEONTOLOGISTS

    Week 1: August 6 - 10

    Follow the sequence of life on earth from the tiniest organism to the largest dinosaur. Compare your tracks with those of T-Rex. Learn about all the species that evolved to create the living earth as we know it through hands-on excavations, digs and more exciting experiments. Students use their natural love for making things to learn how life began.  For children entering grades K-2.

    AQUANAUTS: MARINE EXPLORERS

    Week 2: August 13 - 20
    Oceans, lakes, rivers canals, ponds and puddles – this camp is all about what lives in the waters around us. Students act like marine biologists to explore watery life through experiments, projects, investigations and models.  (There is no trip to the river planned for this camp as weather conditions may make this an unsafe proposition).  For children entering grades K-2. 

    CURIOLOGISTS: ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

    Week 3: August 20 - 24
    Your home and why to love it!  The camp is designed to teach young students an appreciation for the local environment and the ecosystems around them. In the summer camp, students will also explore food systems and build their own gardens to take home.  Students learn about water and soil, as well as the flora and fauna of the local environment. Hands on projects include water testing, sources of energy, pollution and its effects, habitats, effects of climate change and marine life and ecosystems.  For children entering grades K-2.
