Buzzin' Bees Summer Camps for Kids!
Bees for Peace and the United Church of Canada Shining Waters Regional Council are organizing 5-day summer camps, where kids and youth ages 5 - 11 will learn about how bees and native plant gardens relate to and support our world and our faith.
Our activities will build community among the kids, strengthen their connection to nature and nurture in them values such as teamwork, generosity, wonder towards the natural world and appreciation of differences. The children will also go home with clear instructions for how to plant their own native plant garden and the enthusiasm to bring it to life!
Children will have fun learning about bee communication, diversity and biology, pollination and nectar, bee nests and bee hotels, effects of climate change on bees, and how-to’s for native plant gardening. They will also practice kind communication, find out how to avoid food waste and increase food security, understand habitats for bees and humans, get tips on fighting climate change, and celebrate community and the web of life.
We will also offer individual modules that can supplement an already chosen curriculum.
Churches other than United Churches can host a camp. To host a camp, please see https://shiningwatersregionalcouncil.ca/communities-of-faith/youth/bees-for-peace-summer-camp/
