We tend to overlook the smaller things in nature, but organisms such as fungi, mosses, ferns, and lichens are important components of an ecosystem. Education Director Carrie Szwed will take you on a virtual hike to point out each of these small wonders, plus any forms of tiny animal life that may cross her path.

Join us for a special program designed for young nature lovers aged 3-6 years old. Education Director Carrie Szwed will read “What Cat is That?” from The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library, followed by a meet-and-greet with Carrie’s own tabby cat. Then she’ll lead you through the making of a cat-inspired craft using materials you can find around the house.

– Zoom links to live, interactive programs, allowing us all to learn and socialize with each other
– pre-recorded storytime sessions
You can sign up to receive materials for one, two, or all three weeks of virtual camp. Each week will include a unique set of activities; you’ll see activities that will suit younger kids, older kids, and entire families. You will receive an email from carrie@whitememorialcc.org on the Friday before each camp week starts with links for all of the pre-recorded activities and demonstrations, as well as Zoom links for a couple of live interactive presentations taking place during the camp week.
