Twice a week campers go to the Common Threads garden located in Hyde Park. Each camper has the opportunity to learn about organic gardening through interactive lessons with the garden teacher. The campers are responsible for the maintenance of the garden; they get rid of unwanted weeds, mulch needed areas, and plant fruit, vegetables and flowers. Below are pictures of campers enjoying an afternoon in the garden!
Common Threads helps bridge cultural boundaries and strengthens our global family by teaching children about their similarities and differences in the warm comfort of the kitchen: Through the simple process of preparing and sharing a nutritious meal, children who participate in our programs learn to connect with their bodies, their neighbors, and their world in bite-sized lessons.
beautiful colorful pictures of nature and learning!! love it :)
