EarthKeepers Camp- NEW!
Ages 8-12
Cost: $445
Sienna Ranch’s unique nature-based environmental camp for middle school students has two key components: environmental awareness and earth stewardship.
We invite ecologically-minded youth, ages 8-12, to join the Sienna Ranch naturalists and educators in a journey to explore a wide range of environmental issues. Through challenges and hands-on investigation, campers become aware of the interconnectedness of the natural world and the complexity of many environmental problems. They discover that science and society are inextricably linked, and that most solutions require compromise.
After gaining an understanding of various issues facing us, students will venture outdoors to “Eco-Ranch”, the ecological classroom at Sienna Ranch, where they will learn first-hand what environmental issues we face locally and what they, as stewards of the earth, can do to help. EarthKeepers will meet and interact with the animal residents at the ranch in order to foster respect and appreciation for the animal world which shares with us the land. Drawing from our well-developed survival skills and nature immersion curriculum, instructors will develop in EarthKeepers campers an appreciation for what the land and the earth provide for us and a motivation to care for and protect the natural world.
Topics covered:
- Environmental Issues
- Respectful Animal Interaction
- Survival Skills and Nature Immersion
- Earth Stewardship
- Permaculture
