About This Activity
Join us for a week-long adventure to explore the many creative, useful, and surprising things you can do with plants. Through hands-on discovery, participants will learn to recognize common edible and medicinal plants and transform them into food, art, useful remedies, and nature-based creations. Every day blends exploration and hands-on projects - keeping kids engaged while building real-world skills rooted in curiosity and stewardship of the land. Participants will practice ethical plant gathering, sensory awareness, and observation as they learn how plants have supported humans across cultures and time for food, healing, and creativity. Using safely guided techniques, children will create herbal medicines, which may include herbal teas, infused oils & vinegars and simple salves, as well as natural dyes, botanical specimen cards, and other plant-based crafts they can take home and proudly share. This program is designed to spark confidence, creativity, and respect for nature. Kids leave not just with projects in their hands, but with a deeper understanding of plants as living allies—sources of nourishment, utility, and connection. For parents, this means a meaningful, age-appropriate introduction to plant knowledge that blends science, tradition, and imagination in a way kids genuinely love.
