Science and nature includes nature walks around Cranbrook’s historic campus. Campers also enjoy the playground and swimming. Each week has a theme, such as Animals, Wacky Week, When I Grow Up, Science, Earth, and Nature. As campers practice following directions, sharing, and safe play behaviors, social interactions and cooperation are stressed.
