Get Ready to Explore the Chaparral
At Sarah's Science Spring Camp
• March 25 - 29, 2013 in Oakland
• April 1 - 5, 2013 in Berkeley

This week at camp will be devoted to one of California's most distinctive natural communities — the chaparral. Through a series of exciting, hands-on science lessons, we will explore the fascinating vegetation and animal life unique to this ecosystem. We will learn about the unusual adaptations caused by the dry climatic conditions in this environment. On Wednesday, we will take a field trip to one of the East Bay Regional Parks where we can experience the chaparral first hand. In addition to studying California's chaparral, we will do fun, creative art projects, play outdoors, and watch science movies.
