Capital City PCS and National Presbyterian School
During the month of July, we led outdoor learning two days a week at Capital City PCS and National Presbyterian School's summer camp programs! Capital City PCS students hiked through Fort Slocum Park to explore birding, food webs, tree identification, and bubble making. At NPS Summer, students used their schoolyard and Glover Archbold Park to observe birds, identify trees, and conduct an arthropod and insect study. Middle school students also completed a nature-related service project each week following their field investigation.
Peace Camp
In August, we continued our longstanding partnership with Christ Lutheran Church by providing programming at their Peace Camp. Peace Camp was originally developed in summer 2024 by Pastor Renata Eustis and the Ward 4 Clergy for the Prevention of Gun Violence, with the hopes of serving children in the area who are in permanent supportive housing or who have a parent who is incarcerated or who may not have other camp options. We led outdoor learning adventures for students ages 9-13 that included exploring watershed education, wildlife, and pollution in Rock Creek Park.
