It will also help them develop and understanding and of the natural world and get them excited about preserving the land, as they will be the ones who determine what happens to the state’s future landscape.

This summer, CMB is offering Full Stem Ahead camp, Power of the Programmers, E-textiles and Spy Camp. Each day of camp includes team-building exercises, hands-on learning activities, walking field trips and supervised free play. They start out the day with a problem to solve, Turner said, and by the end of the day they have come together to solve the STEM problem presented to them. “It’s a full day of collaboration, enjoying the outdoors and working in a classroom to critically solve a problem that collaborates with the theme of the camp,” she said.
