Hello! Today I am going to camp at Brookside Nature Center!
I have packed my bag with everything I need. I have:
A water bottle
Close-toed shoes
Clothes that can get dirty
A nut free lunch and snack
Sunscreen
When I get to camp, I walk up the steps or use the ramp to get to the front door of the nature center.
My adult checks me in at the front desk, making sure I have everything I need.
If I have to use the bathroom, I can go with my adult before they check me into camp.
When I come inside, I find the cubby with my name and put my bag in it. Then I get a name tag.
If it’s not time for camp to start yet, I can do an activity while I wait. I have the choice to do something like read a book or play a game with other campers.
We have a morning meeting on the auditorium carpet. We say hello, learn the rules, and hear the plan for the day.
On Monday, we will practice an emergency drill by walking to the pond.
I will eat all my snacks and lunch outside
on the rocks by the nature center
in the picnic pavilion by the nature exploration area
or in the auditorium if we need to go inside because of the weather
Each day of camp, we have different fun activities! Here are some of the things I may do:
Go for hikes and search for animals
Meet an animal at the nature center
Explore the creek
We will go outside to the Nature Exploration Area to play. There are a lot of activities for me to do here with my new friends
Fairy House
Mud Kitchen
Wooden playhouse
And more !
After all our adventures for the day we will have a snack on the rocks outside while we wait for our adults to come and sign us out of camp.
Camp Expectations
When I’m at camp, I will make sure to:
Follow directions so I stay safe
Stay with a counselor or group at all times
Leave nature where I find it. We only touch what a counselor says is safe, and we put everything back
Stay on the trails. To help us stay safe, we need to, “Look down, stay on the brown!”
Have a fun and safe week at camp!
