All camp activities -- sailing, art, music, snorkeling,, photography, science, nature walks, Swimming and kayaking -- are based on an ecological curriculum. Trained counselors in each field supervise. · While campers snorkel amongst the sea grass, they observe animals in their native habitat and learn to identify different species of sea plants. · Children collect tiny specimens either by dragging a net behind their kayak or simply wading near the mangroves. Un seen discoveries reveal themselves under a microscope. · Campers collect and press leaves, creating individual journals in which each child records and imagines their own island experiences. · Sea shells, coconuts, and driftwood all become art objects. Children hand-craft jewelry and carve bamboo into flutes. They explore music by making and playing percussion instruments. · Campers learn how to collect and filter water for their small garden or an out door shower. · Children study solar and wind energy and build a life-sized raft from found and recycled materials. · They make Indian pottery, construct a teepee, and weave twigs and grass on ancient- style looms. All these experiences and more will make Shake-aALeg’s Eco- Island adventure camp a summer to treasure! Download the Tuition Discount Form Here Places are limited, to register:
