A TASTE OF CAMP QUEST and a celebration of Darwin's Birthday
Details
http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/b/c/event_91202492.jpeg This is a day for kids - young and the young at heart. We will be doing science experiments, enjoying yummy edibles, and learning about the joys of camping at Camp Quest West.
We will have three science tables...chemistry, physics, and biology, where teachers will lead hands-on experiments. Small groups will rotate from table to table with breaks for lunch and Darwin's birthday cake! Adults are invited and encouraged to attend, AND to participate.
Camp Quest (http://west.campquest.org/) is designed for children from non-religious families: atheists, humanists, agnostics, freethinkers and others with a naturalistic world view. We blend world-class science and critical thinking games with the traditional all-American outdoor camp experience. Think the glories of evolution paired with campfires and canoeing! Along the way, we build community, letting kids know that the skeptical community has something special to offer the world and role models to emulate. http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/0/0/event_91203072.jpeg
This summer Camp Quest West is hosting two sessions: July 8-14 in the northern California Sierra foothills near Nevada City July 22-28 in southern California Angeles National Forest near Wrightwood.
Both sessions are residential sleep-away camp experiences for campers 8-14. (15-17 year olds who register will be automatically on the Leadership Track as Staff-In-Training - they get their own campout!)
There is a timeline for the day, so please show up at 11 AM sharp. We will be serving lunch AND dessert. The day should conclude before or at 2 PM.
When you RSVP, please let us know the names and ages of your children. SEE YOU FOR A TASTE OF CAMP QUEST!
