*Session 1: June 29-July 2 - CANCELLED
Discover Brooksby
This kick-off session will take advantage of all our Brooksby adventures. Hike on the trails, go fishing and bug hunting. Challenge yourself on our ropes course, learn about nature, birds, the forest animals and the night sky! Learn how to make a perfect s’mores and make lasting memories at our Brooksby camp-out. After the camp-out on Wednesday, we will spend our day at the beach having fun in the sun playing games and swimming! No program July 3



Session 2: July 6-July 10
Grossology
Did you know vultures poop on their own legs to cool themselves off? Or, that your belly button contains about 70 different species of bacteria? Get ready to get down and dirty during an amazing week of “YUCK” as campers investigate all things grossly fascinating in the animal kingdom and human body.



*Session 3: July 13-July 17
Aqua Adventure
This water week extravaganza will be the best ever as we explore all things water! Find tadpoles, water tigers, and baby dragonflies in the pond. Learn about vernal pools and watersheds and remember that hydration is the highway to happiness! Get ready for some epic water games each day and be prepared to get wet this week!
 


Session 4: July 20-July 24
Survivor Week
This fun filled week will be full of physical and mental challenges, outdoor adventures, co-operative games, arts & crafts, and plenty of team building activities that bring "survivor" to our campers. Based in part on the T.V. show, tribal alliances are formed, and spirits fill the air as teams participate in competitions against each other to gain points throughout the week! Group unity and participation are essential. 


Session 5: July 27-July 31
Edible Engineering
Learning is sweet with science that you can eat! Have some fun and play with your food while learning the science behind it. Edible Engineering combines physical science and food items to captivate even the most reluctant participant. From marshmallows to Pop Rocks, this is a tasty source for food experiments. This week of candy chemistry will give you a serious sugar rush! 



Session 6: August 3-August 7
Olympics Week
Let the games begin! Olympic week is full of traditional and not so traditional games . This week is a great opportunity for campers to practice sportsmanship skills while enjoying friendly group competition. There will be an opening and closing ceremony, an Olympic torch, medals, and other Olympic traditions! 

Session 7: August 10-August 14
Up in the Air
It's all up in the air as we come to an end of our summer season! From butterflies to birds to hot air balloons and airplanes - we are launching our last week dedicated to flight! Investigate how wings work, create flying crafts, and explore nature's many animals (and even plants) that soar through the air. T
