Well, summer is upon us again and if you are like a lot of parents, you’re probably wondering what to do with the kids. As the owner of a new Toyota hybrid, you are probably more environmentally aware than many. Why not pass that on to your children? The Pennsylvania Resource Council offers a number of week long camps that introduce children to the environment, their place in it, and what they can do to help protect it. Here are a couple of the upcoming camps in Eastern Pennsylvania.
July 14 to 18, Wildlife Detectives
Designed for children aged 7-9, this camp will teach your kids to uncover clues and discover the wildlife in the Ridley Creek State Park. They will learn to identify the various animals, amphibians, and birds while at the same time understanding what each of them needs for survival.
August 4 to 8, Earth Action Squad
For ages 10 to 12, your kids will become environmental scientists for the week, learning how to protect our planet and taking part in various activities. Some of these activities include organic gardening, water testing to determine the health of an ecosystem, and how to use alternative energy sources. On the last day of camp parents are invited to the Earth Action Squad’s Environmental Fair.
Spots will fill up quickly, so if you think your children are interested make sure to contact the PRC early. If your kids aren’t interested in summer camp, why not gas up your Toyota Hybrid and head out to the state parks to look at the wildlife? After all, it won’t cost much and your children are sure to learn a thing or two. Just remember to bring the binoculars and camera!
