This summer’s curriculum for the Earthworks organization at The Center at Donaldson is based on the DNR’s “Project Wild” program. This curriculum provides a wide range of environmental activities for children.
According to Adam Thada, Ecological Relationships Director at The Center at Donaldson, trail cameras will be installed to study the lives of the wildlife on campus. Children participating in the program will learn about the animals seen on campus and their habitat.
Summer Day Camp activities will include hikes to explore nature, cob building, dissecting owl pellets, examining the water of Lake Galbraith, interacting with animals at the Ancilla Beef and Grain Farm, and many other outdoor adventures. Children will have the opportunity to log their adventures in a journal.
The focus of the DNR’s program will help children focus on a connection with nature.
Scholarships to attend this program are available by completing the “Gift of the Spirit Scholarship” online application at www.lindenwood.org. Children ages 6-10 may register for one week, two weeks or all three weeks of the camp at www.Earthworksonline.org.

Earthworks is part of The Center at Donaldson sponsored by The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.
