Pollinators
Pollinator week of the Grow Green Camps at Tucker House is filled with educational crafts and activities related to the pollinators frequently seen on our grounds. In the morning, campers spend time on the property and in the forest doing scavenger hunts. They will spot bees, habitats of certain pollinators, and a variety of colorful plants attracting our pollinators. To cool off in the afternoon, once or twice a week, the campers go for a swim in our own pool, under the supervision of a certified lifeguard.
Creativity is important during Pollinator camp! Children will have many activities to explore while learning that bees not only need flowers, but also a place to rest and hydrate. They may create butterfly life cycles with bits of nature they find themselves during their walk, get their hands dirty making seed bombs or build their own bee hotel! We try to end the week with a guest to discuss the theme.
The children will go home with a better knowledge of the fascinating world of pollinators but also with a newly found respect for nature around us.
A full week spent outdoors (no cell phones!), making new friends and discovering how beautiful our universe is. That is why campers love the Grow Green Camps at Tucker House!
During the weeks of July 7, July 28 and August 18th, 2025

Gardening
Gardening week of the Grow Green Camps at Tucker House allows our campers to discover the many treasures around us: plants, flowers, animals and insects! Garden and forest walks, treasure hunts, pool time with a lifeguard or water games are all part of a typical week.
Learning is fun during Gardening camp and many options are offered to the children from year to year. The campers may work on garden construction projects with loose parts found around the property or observe our water filtration experiment to learn the importance of having plants in the ground for the groundwater. Mint anyone? We can plant our own to take home. How about the rainbow celery activity? There is plenty of space to explore gardening options at Tucker House and those hands might get dirty! When possible, we like to invite a guest speaker on the last day of camp.
The children will go home with a better awareness of the wonders of gardening but also with a newly found respect for nature and what it does to feed us and keep us healthy.

Mushroom & Forest
Mushroom and forest week of the Grow Green Camps at Tucker House allows the campers to discover the wonderful and mysterious world of fungi! Our days start with scavenger hunts which give us an opportunity to appreciate the beauty found in our forest and gardens. To cool off in the afternoon, once or twice a week, the campers go for a swim in our own pool, under the supervision of a certified lifeguard
Mushroom creativity abounds. From dissection to spore print experiment to identification cards, so much to learn and appreciate. Mushrooms have such funny names… and our ‘name the fungi competition’ certainly brings a lot of laughter. On the last day of camp, we try to invite a special guest who will share more mycology amazing facts.
The children will go home with a better knowledge of the mysterious world of the forest and its connection to mushroom but also with a newly found respect for life around us.
