 Week 1: Power of Me, Power of We
This first week explores the power of coming together for a cause through fun group challenges and community projects. We will discover how nutrition, activity level, and attitude impact personal well-being and how a healthy you and a healthy group can have a great impact on the environment. Climb, hike, run, and dig in the dirt! Camper tested and requested.

 Week 2: Earth’s Force
How can we harness and conserve nature’s energy? The potential of motion, sunlight, water, wind, electricity, magnetism, and even people will be investigated this week. Explore a dam and the power of water, build and cook with a solar oven, and harness the power of a bicycle and cranks in our wide-ranging energy adventure.

 Week 3: Nectar Collectors
People need plants, and plants need pollinators! Bees and butterflies, beetles and bats, wind and even water get it done, and Green Campers will take a close look at some of these hard workers that keep things growing. Protecting pollinators and helping them along will be one focus this week, and we may even get a taste of honey in the deal!

 Week 4: “Just Add Water”
Get up close and personal with all kinds of waterways. Explore the Huron River watershed from Ann Arbor to Lake Erie, make fishing poles and fish with them, and cast your net and see what lurks in the muck. Canoeing and other water activities abound. Ability to swim not required.

 Week 5: Hometown Habitat
See what the local flora and fauna are up to and investigate the nature in our neighborhoods! Animal life is all around us, and shares a lot of the same territory we think of as our own. Learn to find and track critters, listen for the special calls of the wild, learn how animals communicate, and welcome visiting animals to camp. Participate in stewardship activities that will help local habitats stay healthy.

 Week 6: Rockin’ Our World
Rocks tell stories about how they were formed. Learn how time, heat, and pressure help tell those tales, how crystals grow, search for fossils and signs of past life, and learn to read the history in any rock! Make rock collections, study, cut and polish your favorite rocks.

 Week 7: Food for Thought
From seed to root, and flower to fruit, what could be better than a fresh feast? Learn about growing, harvesting, and enjoying great local foods, as well as some of the people who grow them for us. Spin honey from our own Green Camp bees. Plus, this week you’ll need your chef’s hat! Mmmmm…

 Week 8: Double Take
We spend our lives surrounded by ‘stuff’, but our stuff can keep going around and around. This week the Green Adventures crew will look into where it all comes from, and, especially, where it goes after we’re done with it. Have fun with the three Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! This week includes the always-popular ‘Take Apart’ day!
