Afterschool STEAM Camp: FOOD FROM THE FOREST

3025 New Holland Road, Reading, PA 19607

Have you ever wondered how people got food before there were so many grocery stores?  Come explore the woods of Nolde Forest and see what we can gather to help make a Thanksgiving loaf of bread.  Students will be provided with flour, yeast, salt, and water.    Other additions will be optional with the overall intent of bringing home a bakeable loaf.  Students with severe nut and gluten allergies are discouraged from attending this camp due to the materials that will be used.

     

Parents are welcome to drop their registered child(ren) off and, if you have other students outside of this age range, we invite you to take an autumnal forest hike with them, while we learn about nocturnal animals. 
    

This program will take place both inside and outside. Please make sure all students are dressed appropriately to spend time outside. Students are encouraged to bring a snack, drink, and perhaps an upcycled item or two to use to create their S.T.E.A.M. project. Registration is required for ALL participants. Spaces are limited. There is a $10 fee for each student.

 

**This program will be cancelled in case of severe inclement weather. Please check your email to receive any cancellation updates.**
