Pamela B. Shucker, Director/Naturalist; Meredith Burton, Teacher/Naturalist,
This full-day summer academic enrichment program with a science and nature focus is designed
for rising first or second graders. Research shows how important it is for children to learn about
and experience our natural world. This program does just that! Children participate daily in science,
reading, art, music and outdoor sports, with swimming on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
In addition to a structured schedule of “classroom” activities, there is also time for creek walks, quiet
reflections and fun-and-tumble supervised games. Sessions are one or two weeks in length.
