SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — Moms and Dads: There are still spaces left to sign your child up for Eco-Adventure Camp at the EARTH Center in South Brunswick in August.

Middlesex County youth entering grades 3 through 6 are invited to attend a fun educational program that will help them learn about and care for the environment. Eco-Venture Camp at the EARTH Center is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 21-25. The program will take place at the EARTH Center, located in Davidson’s Mill Pond Park at 42 Riva Ave., South Brunswick.

Each day’s events will have a different theme. Hands-on activities will explore topics such as ecology, water and resource conservation, climate change, alternative energy and earth-friendly gardening. Most days will begin with a team-building exercise to help students get acquainted.

Wednesday, Aug. 23 will feature a field trip, and later in the week, students will create public service announcements.
