Green Adventures Camp is an exciting academic and enrichment camp with a focus on learning conservation, ecology and what it means to be “green”.

Each morning campers have a small group classroom experiencemonday-thursday mornings campers have a small group experience led by exemplary AAPS teachers. Friday mornings are set aside for special interactive hands on projects based at the site. Unique to this camp, students synthesize their afternoon experience through writing, scientific inquiry and problem solving, extending their learning and reducing typical learning losses that can occur over the summer.

In the afternoons, Naturalists Dave Szczygiel and John Stahly lead campers in explorations of a variety of natural areas that provide a theme and context for the morning math and language arts lessons. Each Friday afternoon all campers have fun swimming at a local public pool.

week 1 Power of me, Power of we THeMe!This first week explores the power of coming together for a cause through fun group challenges and community projects. We will discover how nutrition, activity level, and attitude impact personal well-being and how a healthy you and a healthy group can have a great impact on the environment. Climb, hike, run, and dig in the dirt! Camper tested and requested.

week 2 earth’s Force How can we harness and conserve nature’s energy? The potential of motion, sunlight, wa-ter, wind, electricity, magnetism, and even people will be investigated this week. Explore a dam and the power of water, build and cook with a solar oven, and harness the power of a bicycle and cranks in our wide-ranging energy adventure.

week 3 Nectar collectors People need plants, and plants need pollinators! Bees and butterflies, beetles and bats, wind and even water get it done, and Green Campers will take a close look at some of these hard workers that keep things growing. Protecting pollinators and helping them along will be one focus this week, and we may even get a taste of honey in the deal!

week 4 “Just add water” Get up close and personal with all kinds of waterways. Explore the Huron River watershed from Ann Arbor to Lake Erie, make fishing poles and fish with them, and cast your net and see what lurks in the muck. Canoeing and other water activities abound. Ability to swim not required.

week 5 Hometown HabitatSee what the local flora and fauna are up to and investigate the nature in our neighbor-hoods! Animal life is all around us, and shares a lot of the same territory we think of as our own. Learn to find and track critters, listen for the special calls of the wild, learn how animals communicate, and welcome visiting animals to camp. Participate in stewardship activities that will help local habitats stay healthy.

week 6 Rockin’ our world Rocks tell stories about how they were formed. Learn how time, heat, and pressure help tell those tales, how crystals grow, search for fossils and signs of past life, and learn to read the history in any rock! Make rock collections, study, cut and polish your favorite rocks.

week 7 Food for thought From seed to root, and flower to fruit, what could be better than a fresh feast? Learn about growing, harvesting, and enjoying great local foods, as well as some of the people who grow them for us. Spin honey provided by our own Green Camp bees. Plus, this week you’ll need your chef’s hat! Mmmmm…

week 8 double takeWe spend our lives surrounded by ‘stuff’, but stuff can go keep going around. This week the Green Adventures crew will look into where it all comes from, and, especially, where it goes after we’re done with it. Have fun with the three Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! This week includes the always-popular ‘Take Apart’ day!

The Parents’ Page

MedicationsIf your child must take a medication during the camp day, the Ann Arbor Public Schools medication policy states that the on-site administration of any medication requires written authorization on file. The authoriza-tion must be signed by both a physician and a parent, whether the medication is prescribed or over-the-counter. All medica-tions must be in their original containers and clearly labeled.

Camps follow the district policy governing the use of Epi-pen injections for insect or food allergies. It is the parent’s responsibility to communicate any special concerns to the Camp Coordinator and to provide any nec-essary training to camp staff. We require at least two weeks notice for staff to be trained in the use of the Epi-pen.

AllergiesIf you receive a message or see a sign indi-cating that a building or area in a building is “no nut” or “dairy free,” please be respectful of that rule if you send food with your child. Staff will follow the Ann Arbor Public Schools’ guidelines for managing life threatening food allergies.

If your child has an allergy action plan, please let us know at least two weeks in advance of your child’s participation in the camp. Call 734-994-2300 ext. 53219.

Packing a Safe LunchPacked lunches at camp are often kept at room temperature for 4-6 hours. Foods which will be kept at room temperature need to be selected and handled carefully to prevent food poisoning. There are two ways to keep a packed lunch safe to eat. One is to choose foods which may safely be kept at room temperature. The other is careful handling of foods.

Camp T-ShirtsMany camps provide a T-shirt for each camper. Please indicate the t-shirt size of your child on the registration form. You will be required to complete this information when you register online.

Trained Staff Make the Difference!Staff members receive ongoing training in the areas of child development, qual-ity environment, programming, behavior management and health and safety. Each camp has at least one staff member who is CPR and first-aid certified.
