Look at archaeological studies and see material evidence of past life and cultures as we interpret the exciting story of the river valley and its relationship to the settlement of Bloomington. Participants ride buses to the Minnesota National Wildlife Refuge and Pond-Dakota Mission Park each day. Wear comfortable clothing and suitable hiking shoes or boots. Bring a lunch and beverage. We go to a different location each day, checking out the newest indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities at St. Louis Park, Bush Lake Beach, Shoreview and other locations.
Students ride buses to each location.
Bring a swim suit, sun screen and towel each day. Day Camp KOTA provides a week of group camping experience, basic camping skills training, outdoor education, swimming and field trips. Each session features a theme and a Thursday overnight campout at Sumac Knoll in Hyland Lake Park Reserve. Bus transportation is provided to and from camp except on Friday morning after the overnight campout. Brochures describing all summer youth programs will be mailed in early April to Bloomington students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
