SUMMARY:Life's a Garden\, Let's Dig It! Summer Day Camp
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ Dates: Tuesday\, June 16 through Thursday\, June 18\n⏰ Times: 9:30am-12:30pm\n🌾 Harvest Day: Thursday\, August 20 from 4:00pm-6:00pm\n💸 Pricing: $60/group* for Members | $75/group* for Nonmembers\n👦🏻 Age Range: 3-7 years old\n❗️ Adult supervision required!\n📞 Registration: Call to sign up! 218-254-7959 \nAs they say\, “Life’s a garden\, let’s dig it!” Part art and part science\, gardening is a fun\, hands-on task that cultivates an appreciation for nature and a love for learning in kids. \nDuring this Early Childhood Education (ECE) summer day camp\, kids will garden in raised beds using modern and heirloom seed varieties. Plus\, they’ll enjoy engaging activities and art projects. It all takes place down at MDC’s historic Glen Location. \nThe camp itself takes place from Tuesday\, June 16 to Thursday\, June 18\, but there will be a very special “Harvest Day” on Thursday\, August 20 so the campers can come back and reap what they sewed. \n* Special note: We understand that families look different! Here\, a group includes your household unit\, however that looks. That means you can register multiple 3- to 7-year-olds for the camp if you have them\, plus can bring along non-camper babies/older kids so you don’t have to worry about arranging childcare. Your payment covers everyone!
