Summer Outdoor Nature Program 2024
At Jericho Beach Park
There is no limit to the experiences and curiosities that our Summer Nature Camps at Jericho Beach can arouse! We will explore the beach and forest areas, discovering plants, trees and wildlife, and everyday will provide a different experience, which the Camp Coordinator will be able to share with families via the secure and private Procare App.
Bayview Summer Nature Camp for 3-6-year-old children provide multiple learning opportunities for participants, such as:
Creating sustainable and practical practices that can be used in everyday life;
Learning how to work in groups, and overcoming challenges together, strengthening social development, decision-making and problem solving skills;
Increasing connection with nature and developing environmental awareness;
Stimulating all senses through what they hear, touch, see and feel;
Building self-awareness, independence, confidence, and creativity; and
Creating art, crafts and structures with natural materials.
