Chickadees Nature Adventure: Ages 3 to 4
This camp is designed for campers ages 3-4 years old. This camp will integrate children with their natural world and engage them in quality outdoor learning that stimulates their curiosity and imagination. Our unstructured style of play allows children to interact meaningfully with their surroundings. They can think more freely, design their own activities, and approach the world in innovative ways. Beachcombing treasures such as pine cones and acorns, shells, sea glass, or feathers that are collected outside are brought into the classroom and used for hands-on exploration and to stimulate young imaginations. They can even be used as counting tools or to create art. Campers can expect to go outside every day to explore the neighbourhood and nearby beaches.
