Text Box: COME JOIN US THIS SUMMER!!! Exploring New Horizons is excited to announce that we are teaming up with UC Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) to create "Coastal Ecology Summer Camp". This is our first collaborative effort at summer camp, blending some of ENH's incredible staff and the fun Sempervirens Outdoor School facility with a fun and inspiring scientific twist that is the hallmark of the Lawrence Hall residential summer camps. Coastal Ecology Summer Camp offers a secure environment to explore science, make new friends, and have tons of fun. Each day brings new activities and insights about science, along with traditional camp activities like swimming, crafts, games, and campfires. Picture your child making friends in our fun and supportive camp environment; and returning home with new interests and skills, confidence, and lifelong memories! June 27 - July 1, 2005 (5 days) Ages: 8-10 July 10 - 14, 2005 (5 days) Ages: 9-12 Enrollment: 40-60 campers/session Orientation at LHS: Wednesday, May 25, 7:00 PM For additional information, fees and schedules and to enroll in Coastal Ecology Summer Camp, contact the Lawrence Hall of Science: Phone: (510) 642-5134 www.lawrencehallofscience.org/summercamp Life is pretty exciting where the forest meets the sea! Explore the animals and plants that live at and near the sea. The sandy shore, streams, grassy fields, and groves of giant redwood trees we'll visit are home to a huge variety of life. Campers will use field biology techniques to observe, compare, appreciate, and learn about the local inhabitants and how they survive and thrive. We'll bring a large assortment of our most popular science activities from LHS for campers to choose from. A highlight will be a trip to the ocean to explore the creatures that live in tidepools. Camp life is balanced with a rich array of activities such as swimming, crafts, games, archery, campfires, stargazing inside our star dome and outside in the meadow, storytelling, and beachcombing. This camp is ideal for first-time campers and returning campers, filled with plenty to do and many chances to make new friends.
