In this 5-day outdoor day camp, students will engage in the experience of being outside and connecting with nature, with each other, and with ancient human living skills. While wandering through Filoli Gardens, students will learn about the native edible and medicinal plants of the region, learn to identify various animals and their tracks and sign, discover how to identify bird species by sight and by song, engage in mapping and compass work, play games that deepen sensory awareness, sing songs and hear stories, and participate in learning various ancient living and survival skills. Each day will feature a new skill or activity, while building on the core routines that form the foundation of nature learning. Prepare to prance, pronk, sneak, slither, crawl, and dance your way through nature!
