New Pre-K Summer Science and Nature Camp
Cabrillo College to offer its first preschool summer camp

APTOS, CA—The Cabrillo College Children’s Center will offer a summer Pre-K Science and Nature Camp for children 3 ½ to 5 years of age. The camp begins oon June 20th and continues through July 15, Mondays through Fridays, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., on the Cabrillo College campus in Aptos, 6500 Soquel Drive.

"Young children are natural 'scientists,' so our Science and Nature Camp offers a perfect way to both immerse them in what they love, i.e. exploring and interacting with their world, while laying a foundation of concrete skills and a love for learning that will serve them well in kindergarten,” said Children’s Center Director Lenore Kenny.

The nature camp will help prepare young children for kindergarten using fun, educational outdoor and indoor activities. These young students will explore the fascinating world of nature through planting and growing vegetables, learning about plants, insects and animals, and playing in well-equipped indoor and outdoor environments. Woven throughout the curriculum will be activities that support pre-reading, writing and pre-math skills. The cost of the camp is $560 per child.
