Sensational Senses (1st-2nd): (SORRY, THIS CAMP IS FULL) Take a whiff…what do you think the sea lions eat? Can we find Mumford the lion by following his roar? Do cacao beans taste like chocolate? Join us as we use our five senses to learn more about the natural world, including the plants and animals that call Como home.
Como-ology I (3rd-4th): Discover the wild world of “ologies” in this interactive and hands-on camp! Each day we will try out a new ology – like ornithology (birds), mammalogy (mammals), phytology (plants), and, of course, grossology (things that make you go eww) – and discover how we use it here at Como. Did you also sign up for Como-ology II? No worries, we have different topics and adventures planned!
