Come join us as we read fiction and nonfiction books about the deep ocean! Campers will learn about different ocean animals and how they survive in saltwater. They will explore a real fish - feel it's scales, find the gills, and talk about how fish can breathe and move underwater. The sensory table will be full of water beads and animal figurines as we talk about where animals live underwater. Campers will create a tactile mural to display at preschool of an ocean habitat. We will sing and do finger plays to help us remember what we've learned!

Mindfulness is being aware of one's own thoughts, feelings, and body in the moment. Campers will learn to recognize different feelings and emotions that come their way. How do I know when I'm nervous? What does my body do to tell me? Next campers will learn strategies to cope with their feelings. We will do yoga activities, practice breathing techniques, and equip your child with exercises to work toward self-regulation. We will explore our nature sensory bin, create calm down bottles, and bring home a mindfulness toolkit at the end of the week to help them when they feel big emotions.
