Mad Science invites you to learn about the garden in our camp made especially for preschoolers. Campers explore the different parts of a garden and learn all about seeds, soil, and sprouts. The group will examine fruits, vegetables, plants and leaves using a microscope designed for preschoolers. Children also learn about interesting creatures that live in a garden like butterflies, ladybugs and bees and learn how these creatures can help a garden grow. Take home projects include a seed badge, sun visor, bean necklace, veggie place mat and bug necklace.
