A rain forest is simply a dense jungle with a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are home to incredible plants and animals. Spend a full week exploring and learning about this magnificent place on Earth. Campers pick their favorite rainforest animals and complete a fun study of their chosen animal. This amazing camp will include crafts, projects, discussions, reading, themed games, puzzles, and more enriching fun. This camp offers a unique perspective of the rainforest from top to bottom. Come explore, it will be a phenomenal! Supplies needed: cost of camp takes this into account.

Campers will engage with the themed lessons through discussions, question and answers, peer learning, presented information on slides, reading, and face to face.
