Listen to the rhythm of nature creaking in an old tree’s branches, in water flowing over a rock or emerging from the throat of a bullfrog. From sounds, to movement, and cycles; everything has a meaning, cause or purpose. Through observation, experimentation, art and music, campers will learn and experience different rhythms unique to nature.
Special Guest: Campers will be joined by Allentown Symphony's Musician-in-Residence, Jorge Vera, for a nature-inspired performance.
No camp on Friday, June 19. The fee is discounted for this week.
Extended Camp Hours Available: Great for Working Parents
