Lutz Children's Museum Campers Celebrate 'Our Home Is The Cosmos'

Press release from Lutz Children’s Museum:

Aug. 16, 2021

Lutz Children's Museum summer campers celebrated "Our Home is the Cosmos" week at Oak Grove Nature Center with a robust discussion about how our home in the cosmos is impacted by global warming and how each camper can work to reduce their own carbon footprint. Campers collaborated to come up with ideas that included biking to school, drinking from reusable containers, increasing the amount they recycle and looking to upcycle items that they would usually dispose of. Campers then traced each other and painted their ideas inside their outline. These works of art are now on display in the museum gallery. Clare Mazur, museum educator said “It was great to see the campers enthusiasm about making their carbon footprint smaller… they all had ideas about how to conserve at home.”

The Oak Grove Nature Center is a fifty-two acre nature preserve operated by the Town of Manchester and the Lutz Children’s Museum, located at 269 Oak Grove Street, Manchester, CT. Trails are open to the public from dawn until dusk. It is an ideal place to take a break from your busy day and enjoy a quiet walk in the woods.

The mission of the Lutz Children’s Museum is to provide a multi-faceted museum for children to explore culture, history, and the natural sciences through internal and external exhibits, programs, and experiences.” Learn more at https://lutzmuseum.org/
