A gateway to 16,000 articles, multimedia, a new dictionary, and our world atlas. This environmental project for urban kids can, and should, be mimicked across the country. Students plant and raise vegetables in raised gardens. Field trips to local cultural sites and arts activities are also part of the day-camp experience. Art work or crafts can be donated to shelters.
Program blends environmental strands with community service, art, and culture.
Schools in warmer climates might consider this for a cross-curricular project during the school year.
