The Palmyra Cove kicks off their Cove Campers Summer Camp on July 10, and offer two weeks for interested townspeople.
Looking to send your child to a neat and local summer camp? The Palmyra Cove’s “Cove Campers Summer Camp” will have two separate weeks for interested children.
The first session runs from July 10 to July 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each day, with the second session running from July 17 to July 21. The times are the same for either session.
Palmyra Cove Nature Park’s summer camp is for children who enjoy being outdoors and making new discoveries. Their mission is to have students feel a sense of responsibility and ownership of our wild spaces and to learn about their environment in a fun and educational way.
Environmental education at Palmyra Cove is hands-on, interdisciplinary, and personalized. Each week of camp will cover different topics, so Campers may participate in one or both weeks.
Cove Campers will be split into teams according to the grade they will be entering in the fall. Cove Campers Summer Camp is for students entering grades 1 through 8. Campers will need to bring a healthy lunch with them.
A Family Walk will be held on the Friday following each week of camp, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., for all participating campers and their families.
Our Cove Campers will learn to conduct scientific experiments, including the use of technology and math skills, to learn about the natural world. Some of the activities will include:
- Wetland flora and fauna discoveries.
- Amphibian and reptile studies
- Delaware River watershed investigations.
- Habitat creation.
- Natural and recycled arts.
- Seining and beach pollution surveys.
- Crafts projects.
To ensure we keep our Campers engaged, our teaching teams are small. If you are interested in attending, please call or e-mail and reserve your spot as soon as possible: 856–829–1900 x 1267 kmerola@bcbridges.org. Cost is $125 a week for a member, and $165 a week for a non-member.
