Summer Camp: Melon Madness


  • Sand n' Straw Community Farm 629 Mar Vista Drive Vista United States (map)

The final week focuses on melons and the vines they grow on. Campers compare climbing and trailing plants, put together a melon life-cycle puzzle, build a paper-leaf canopy, and work as a team to solve garden-care problems.

Science has kids building and testing: rolling different shapes down ramps, designing a cushioned carrier to protect a pretend melon, moving balls with cardboard fans, and engineering a ramp route to a target. Music wraps up the summer with melon word rhythms, a pass-the-beat game, and a group concert with a big finale.

Summer Camp Sessions are for ages 4-10.

Summer Camps are Tuesday-Friday from 8:30am-11:30am.

Cost: $350/week (Includes camp shirt and take-home projects!)

Every activity is adjusted by age. Four-year-olds work with pictures, short directions, and adult help. Five- and six-year-olds sort, count, make predictions, and try simple redesigns. Campers ages 7 to 10 measure, repeat trials, record results, and plan and explain their own designs.
