I was really pleased to see bits of green inspiration in their experiences.
One camp which my kids attended was a science and art program. I knew the kids were going to learn about building a water system, but was kind of amazed at the enthusiasm for (and retention of) the curriculum. My 7 year-old was telling me about how we need to catch rain water from our roof and even drew me a diagram of how we could!
He also made a fun water filter experiment with 3 increasing levels of filtration.
My 5 year-old made a model of a "green cabin"—with insulation and solar heating.
They also attended another camp which I knew would be more obviously eco-focused since it is a farm-based program. The kids help with all the farm jobs and at the end of the week they host a farmers market. What I didn't expect and was excited to see was that the camp shirts were from an organic cotton company and produced in the US.
It's nice to find inspiration in unexpected places.

Those camps sound great, are they nationwide or just in CA?
