Summer 2025 LENA Camps
Wonder Wings: Discovering Monarchs and More
Lena Campers will once again join forces with Seniors at Oaknoll Retirement Residence to explore the world of monarchs and other winged garden friends (butterflies, bees, ladybugs–oh my!). Together, we will care for monarch caterpillars, witness their incredible transformatio, and release them to the wild. Along the way, we’ll learn about our role as caretakers of these important pollinators and how we can help protect their habitats.
In addition, Campers will have hands-on opportunities to investigate our native garden spaces and discover the many winged garden friends living there. We will have opportunities to explore local micro-habitats: a developing native prairie, a patio garden, a community garden, and a playground garden.
Each camp session will be packed with engaging STEAM activities, creative art studio time, playful outdoor adventures, hikes, and hands-on gardening fun!
