Curiosity Camp - Busy Bees and Sweet Discoveries
Advertisement
Buzz into the fascinating world of honeybees! Busy Bees and Sweet Discoveries is a two-hour STEAM camp for kids ages 6 to 10 that takes a close-up look at one of nature's most important pollinators. Campers will observe live bees in a demonstration hive, discover the amazing life cycle of a honeybee, and learn how these hardworking insects help pollinate the plants we depend on every day. We'll explore the tools beekeepers use to care for their hives and sample a variety of delicious honey during a special tasting activity. Through hands-on activities, crafts, and the famous waggle dance, campers will discover how bees communicate and work together as a colony.
This camp is part of Curiosity Camp: A Hands-On STEAM Summer Series, a new program at Rotary Botanical Gardens designed to spark imagination and bring science, technology, engineering, art, and math to life through interactive experiments, creative projects, and outdoor exploration.
A snack is included. An adult chaperone is required to attend the session with the child — accompanying adults are free. Please dress to get messy! No walk-ins — advance registration required.
