EarthChild Explorers

Summer Camp this year at EarthChild is all about water! 💦

We have been learning how two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom come together to create a single water molecule (H₂O). From exploring the science behind water to experiencing it through play, our campers have been immersed in hands-on exploration.

The past few weeks we have been busy with water games, tie-dyeing, painting, and exploring the shores of the lake. Every activity helps deepen our appreciation for one of Earth’s most essential resources while creating unforgettable summer memories in nature.

Presentations and book reports focused on nature and environmental science was a huge success. Our students taught us about microplastics, deforestation, albedo, overfishing and many other topics on environmental issues and caring for nature.
At EarthChild we focus on environmental studies while being fully immersed in childhood and the great outdoors!

Field trip to The Discovery Campus at Agua Hedionda Lagoon was a perfect addition to our unit on climate change. The field leaders led our students through an interactive workshop on pollution and the impact that it has on the environment and especially the ocean in relation to water runoff. Students played a game to support learning about the greenhouse gasses. The animal interactions were a favorite activity as they had the opportunity to hold a king snake and many loved feeding Cupcake the bunny. We ended our day enjoying a picnic and playing at the beach!

All of our students at EarthChild received a Coast Live Oak Tree from
We learned about this native California Oak and the facts on how and where they grow as each student took one home to plant. Can't wait to see our students grow along side their oak trees. 🌳

We have spent the past few months learning about the greenhouse effect, photosynthesis, the vital role that trees play, and global warming. We are excited to have the opportunity to give back to Mother Earth!

Sunflower study at the farm! We learned the anatomy and lifecycle of a sunflower as we had the opportunity to dissect sunflowers. Our students also planted sunflowers, painted with the sunflowers and fed sunflower seeds to the farm animals.🌻
Holding and playing with the baby ducks and baby chickens was pure joy . 🦆

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

At EarthChild we celebrate Earth Day everyday as we learn about Earth and Environmental Sciences on the weekly. Being fully immersed in nature is our daily rhythm.
The past few weeks we have been studying the greenhouse effect, global warming, and photosynthesis. Exploring through hands on experiments, games, and journaling helps us to understand concepts that can sometimes feel out of reach.
