For the 20th year Starflower Experiences will be offering Earthkeepers as a summer camp in West Hills County Park (Melville) July 9-13. Ten and eleven year olds will visit Mama Nature’s Munch Room, meet a “Spec,” dig up a buried time capsule and earn 4 keys to help them live in harmony with the earth and understand how the systems of life on earth operate. The keys open real locks on boxes containing secrets only Earthkeepers know. If you like being outdoors and care about our fragile planet, then you should become an Earthkeeper! This incredibly dynamic, fun program helps young people learn about and care for the earth. We’ll also get a taste of exploring right there in West Hills County Park.
This initial week of Earthkeepers will be followed by a week of Earth Explorers open only to those youngsters registering for Earthkeepers, Earthkeepers from past years and students who have participated in the Rangers of the Earth program. During this week, participants will have a chance to really explore West Hills County Park and take trips to other places to experience a different landscape.
Starflower Experiences is a not-for-profit educational organization with a reputation for conducting exciting participatory environmental experiences for many local schools.
The Earthkeeperstm program was developed by The Institute for Earth Education and is currently being run at sites across the U.S., Canada, Britain, Cyprus, Finland, The Netherlands, Australia, and Japan. Starflower Experiences is pleased to make this internationally renowned program available to local youngsters.
Youngsters must currently be in 4th or 5th grade. Registration forms are available at www.starflowerexperiences.org/summer12.pdf, or request one from (516) 938-6152 or
