Where the Wildflowers Grow

This camp is for students ENTERING 5th – 8th Grade.

Pre-registration is required.

Let’s play in the prairie and learn more about “Where the Wildflowers Grow” during this two-day nature camp! Mitchell County Naturalist Chelsea Ewen Rowcliffe and Science Teacher Lora Hargens are teaming up to offer unique WILDflower experiences for students entering 5th-8th grades (or equivalent ages). This camp will focus on the prairie habitats of Mitchell County – specifically it’s beautiful WILDFLOWERS! Activities will include exploring plant parts and pollination, wildflower identification, flower pressing, natural watercolors, dyes, & painting, sun printing, beneficial pollinator projects, edible flowers, and much more!

For both days, students will need to bring a lunch, refillable water bottle, sunscreen, and wear weather appropriate clothing (we may get messy, so clothes that can get wet/dirty, close-toed shoes, hat/sunglasses, sweatshirt, bug spray, etc.) All other snacks and educational materials will be provided.

Space is limited to 20, so register soon! Registration closes June 15th.

$20/student.

Please call Chelsea at (641) 330-0765 to register!

This camp is part of the Mitchell County Conservation “Adventure Camp” series. In these camps, we will be adventuring through different outdoor skills. You can join us for all of the camps, or sign up for your favorites.
