Unique Educational Summer Experience for Children at Lakehead U’s Eco-Literacy Camp

The Eco-Literacy Adventure Camp is an educational program that uses ecologically based reading material throughout the camp, and includes high-energy games, outdoor activities, art projects, and other creative approaches to reading comprehension.

Offered in three sessions from July 9-13, July 16-20, and July 23-27, "The Eco-Literacy Adventure Camp is a great way for children to use their minds in a creative way, and it's a chance for them to explore, discover, and learn about ecology, art, reading, and literature during their summer holidays," says Kim Falcigno of the Department of Lifelong Learning.

Eco-Literacy Adventure Camp is a 3-week summer camp for children entering Grades 4-7 in September, combining literacy skill development with ecology, art projects, fitness, and games to provide a quality learning experience that is both fun and interesting. This year, separate classes for grades 4 & 5 and grades 6 & 7 will be offered to provide a more effective learning environment customized for each grade level. Each camp week is different, so children are encouraged to attend all three.

The cost is $180 a week. There is also a family discount which provides a savings of $10 per child, when two or more children are registered. The camps run from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Bora Laskin Building , Lakehead University .
