| 2009 2009 marks the NINTH year for this program and the Day Camp format that we introduced last year was a hit. We plan to continue this season with three Day Camps because a longer day will allow the participants to complete more detailed garden projects and craft more time-consuming nature projects. We have chosen 3 dates: May 27th, June 10th, and June 24th. Students may attend one or all three sessions. Each special day will be honed with activities appropriate for that particular time in the growing season. The May 27th session will be a fairy extravaganza, celebrating all things miniature and magical. June 10th will we’ll be installing a new water feature at the garden, and on June 24th the class will be a creepy crawly experience, exploring the garden for good bugs and bad bugs and participants will aide in the construction of a new worm bed. With this hands-on experience, students will be able to replicate similar projects in their own backyards. A variety of take-home crafts, scavenger hunts, and garden games will compliment each day’s activities, in addition to the new garden elements at the Prairie Pedlar. Regardless of your level of experience, we invite children to the garden to learn and experience the fine art of gardening, to develop lifelong garden skills, and enjoy nature crafts and flower fun. Each Day Camp will operate from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm. The fee is $20 per student. In the event there are not enough students signed up, the Day Camp may be cancelled and money will be refunded for the few who have registered. All registration fees must be prepaid by May 26 so that I can plan ahead and purchase supplies for each meeting. Sorry, but fees are non-refundable - materials will be purchased in advance. However, you are welcome to find a substitute to take your place if necessary. Plan on a fun day. As always, we will be "practicing" simple garden skills: dead-heading, mulching, watering, and weeding flowers in the Secret Garden - a secluded garden spot that the Green Team has taken ownership of the last several years. These garden skills are essential to the success of any gardening experience and our goal is to develop garden expertise that will last a lifetime. A program fee of $20 per day is a great bargain for supervised instruction, garden projects to take home, a sack lunch, snacks, and all the secrets to gardening success!
