About This Activity
This reading camp merges literacy and outdoor education through playful nature exploration. Curious campers grow their love of reading and writing through garden science, art, games, and more in the gardens at Lake Merritt, the St. Paul’s courtyard, and Fairyland in Oakland, CA. Our young scientists sharpen their powers of inquiry as they observe, document, and explore both language and nature, with plenty of free time for friendships and play.
