Dirt, Rocks & Worms – Day Camp
Ages 10-12 | $275
Get your hands dirty this summer in Garden of the Gods! Grab a shovel and dig into underground ecosystems. Catch soil insects and start a worm farm to take home for vermicomposting. Learn about rocks and minerals of the Pikes Peak region. Split shale from a fossil quarry and find fossils to keep. Become a soil scientist with soil chemistry tests for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to find the perfect garden soil. Visit Cave of the Winds for a tour of dripping crystals and growing rocks. Leave your mark on Garden of the Gods Park, each day will include a few hours of soil conservation project work with the Rocky Mountain Field Institute. We might build a rock wall, or install a water diversion bar. Who knows what we will get into! Come play in the dirt with us this summer at Garden of the Gods!
