Students will be instructed in how to remove, fold and begin to dry a piece of bark. They will take this unfinished basket and other supplies home to complete on their own later after drying. They will then be provided a preform basket and construct a basket (attach handle, rim supports, etc.) of their own.

Webs, Wings, and Scaly Things June 22-26, 2026 We invite young, brave scientists to step into the hidden world of creatures that crawl, slither, flutter, and spin. Campers become junior naturalists for a week packed with scales, wings, webs, and hands-on discovery. Campers dig into the science behind how reptiles and insects survive—investigating exoskeletons, camouflage, silk‑spinning, and more. A live animal menagerie brings the learning to life, giving every child a front‑row seat to real reptiles and other fascinating creepy crawlies in action.
