Naturalists use a variety of tools to explore the natural world, but most rely on the tools we are all born with: our senses! Children will explore their own senses and then discover which animals taste through their feet, which have natural radar, which can locate prey by sensing heat, and which have eyes that contain 30,000 lenses. Join the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center for a week of sensory exploration.
Let your imagination soar into this high flying week of exploration. Campers will build water rockets, kites, and more as they discover objects in flight. Are you ready to hop into the pilot’s seat? Each camp-day will be from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. BNC’s Spring Break Camp is dedicated for students grade 4-6. Registration begins Feb. 1, 2019.
