This camp is for children in grades 3-6 (academic year 2021-2022) who want to be outside, rain or shine, learning about East Granby’s open spaces. The camp will be run by Amanda Thompson, EGLT President, and EGLT student interns.
Campers will hike part of each day 2-4 miles learning the trails of East Granby. We will spend time looking for live bugs and insects, learning about each species and their special features, learn to identify trees, flowers along the Farmington Valley Greenway, Metacomet Trail, Newgate Prison and Salmon Brook.
Campers will also learn outdoors skills like basic first aid, knot tying, trail orientation skills, and what to pack for a hike.
Drop off will be at a different location within East Granby every day.
