Eco-Adventure Camp in Middlesex County in August

Sign your kids up now: Looking for ways to entertain the kids during the dog days of summer?

Middlesex County students entering grades 4 through 7 are invited to attend a fun summer program that focuses on the environment this August.

“Eco-Adventures at the E.A.R.T.H. Center” is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. August 22 through 26. 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, and hands-on activities will explore topics like ecology, water and resource conservation, climate change and issues such as alternative energy and earth-friendly gardening. Most days will begin with a team-building exercise to help students get acquainted.

Wednesday, August 24 will feature a field trip and later in the week, students will create video public service announcements.

The registration fee of $110 includes program materials, a peanut-free snack, beverages and a parting gift. Attendees are expected to bring their own brown bag lunch. The registration deadline for Eco-Adventures at the EARTH Center is August 15. Arrangements can be made for attendees with special needs.
