Camps will run in week-long sessions and begin on July 6. \nAbout the Club\nThe McMichael’s unique summer program will provide an opportunity for campers to build and cultivate their own pollinator gardens. This home garden will become a site of nature-based learning\, pollinator activity\, artistic inspiration that encourages children to engage in healthy outdoor activities on summer afternoons. To make this garden project possible\, the McMichael has partnered with Monarch Nation\, a national program that educates children about species at risk. Monarch Nation will provide seedlings and coaching to guide campers through making their own home garden\, whether in a garden bed or planter. \nEach week\, in addition to project-specific art materials\, campers will be provided with seedlings to plant in their gardens. The seedlings and related materials will be available for safe\, contactless curbside pick up from the McMichael. Each session will be dedicated to a different pollinator plant and species\, such as bees and butterflies and their habitats. Campers will have opportunities to discover the importance of the pollination process; learn about the complexity\, ingenuity and resilience of the natural world; and explore how art informs the ways in which we interact with our environment. A number of experts and guest speakers will join the programs throughout each session\, including naturalists and Indigenous traditional teachers. \nIn partnership with \n \n\nRegister your child for a summer of fun and discovery that will leave your family with a beautiful garden to enjoy and memories to treasure forever.\nSummer Club Additional Program Information\n\nThis program runs daily and lasts approximately three hours from 9 am to 12 pm in weekly sessions from July 6 to August 14.\nCampers will be divided by age into groups of up to 12 participants.\nThe program will be facilitated by an instructor through the ZOOM platform managed by McMichael staff members.
